Madonna was forced to cancel 14 shows, with the most recent being her first performance in Paris last Thursday due to her crippling injuries which she described caused her ‘indescribable pain’.
Last month, Madonna described being ‘in tears from the pain of my injuries’. She said: ‘I consider myself a warrior. I never quit, I never give in, I never give up! However, this time I have to listen to my body and accept my pain is a warning.’
Madonna also revealed that she has to do six hours of rehab every day due to her serious injury and claimed that it’s a ‘miracle’ she has been able to get this far on the tour.
She wrote: ‘It’s a miracle I have gotten this far but a-lot has to do with the fact that I do 6 hours of re-hab every day 3 hours before show and 3 after with multiple therapies.
‘I have also switched to flat shoes and modified difficult parts of the show. This has helped enormously but I still need to be careful and of course rest is the best medicine.’
Madonna is next set to take to the stage on Saturday.
