This wasn't the first time Madonna opened up about her coma. In July 2023, she also shared about waking up to her children in the hospital. She also immediately thought of her fans, noting that she did not want to disappoint those who had already purchased tickets for her tour.

"My focus now is my health and getting stronger," she said. "I couldn't be more grateful for your care and support." The 65-year-old singer had been hospitalized in the intensive care unit due to a bacterial infection that put her in a 48-hour coma.
