Madonna spoke outtwo weeks later, thanking her fans for all of their prayers and well-wishes. “I have felt your love. I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life,” she wrote onInstagram.

“My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children,” she continued. “My second thought was that I did not want to disappointment anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.”

Madonna was able to resume her tour in October, kicking it off in London on Oct. 14. A week later, during a show in Antwerp, Belgium, she told the crowd it was “a miracle” that she was back onstage doing what she loves.
