Madonna has pushed her body to the limit during the Madame X tour. The star was forced to cancel her final US show last month because of “indescribable” pain. She explained: “[Doctors] have made it very clear to me that if l am to continue my tour I must rest for as long as possible so that I don’t inflict further and irreversible damage to my body.”
In December, she visited osteopath Jean-Michel Été whose autohemotherapy procedure mixes blood with ozone gas, writing on Instagram: “Infusing the blood, vitamin drip, Tibetan bowls, singing and meditation - felt amazing afterwards! Please forgive this unexpected turn of events. Doing my show every night brings me so much joy and to cancel is a kind of punishment for me, but the pain I’m in right now is overwhelming. I must rest and follow doctor’s orders so that I can come back stronger and better and continue the Madame X journey with all of you.”
