About three months after being hospitalized due to a serious bacterial infection, Madonna returned to the stage and opened her 40th anniversary tour on Saturday night (14) in London, England.
On the stage of the 02 Arena, located in Greenwich, the 65-year-old singer recalled her stay in the ICU. She said she “didn’t think she would survive” and neither did the “doctors,” according to a report in Rolling Stone magazine.
One of the highlights of the presentation was the tribute that the singer paid to AIDS victims. As she sang “Live to Tell,” she flew over the arena on a platform while portraits of friends lost to the disease were displayed on retractable screens. Among those honored were singer Freddie Mercury and visual artist Keith Haring.
Another memorable moment was when Madonna invited her daughters to go on stage. 17-year-old Mercy James performed “Bad Girl.” Another daughter, who the public could not identify, participated in the performance dancing on stage in front of an audience of 20,000 people.
For her 12th tour, which marked her return to the stage after the “Madame X Tour”, held in 2019, Madonna reached rehearse 12 hours a dayaccording to American entertainment news website Page Six.
Named “Celebration Tour”, the tour, which includes hits from all of his albums, will pass through the main capitals of Europe. Next, the singer will perform in the United States, Canada and Mexico. There is still no information about the possibility of the show taking place in Brazil.
