Madonna’s Injury and Cancelled Show

Madonna announced an injury and “indescribable pain” has forced her to cancel the final date on the North American leg of her Madame X concert tour.

“As I climbed the ladder to sing Batuka on Saturday night in Miami, I was in tears from the pain of my injuries, which have been indescribable for the past few days,” Madonna explained in an Instagram post Tuesday. “With every song I sang, I said a prayer that I would make it to the next and get through the show.”

She added that though she considers herself a “warrior” who never quits, this time she had to “listen to her body and accept that my pain is a warning.”

After canceling her Sunday show in Miami, Madonna said she consulted with doctors and underwent several tests, including scans, ultrasounds and X-rays. According to the singer, the doctors instructed her that if she is to continue her tour, she must rest as much as possible.

“I thank you all for your understanding and support,” Madonna wrote alongside a video of her performing “Batuka,” a song from her 2019 Madame X album. “As the words to Batuka go, it’s a long road. … Lord have mercy.”

For now, the European leg of the Madame X tour is still scheduled to begin on January 12th in Lisbon, Portugal, and follow with performances in London and Paris.
