Madonna has opened up about her health scare last year, which saw her wake up from a four-day induced coma after being hospitalised for a ”serious bacterial infection”.
People reports the music icon, 65, was performing in Los Angeles in recent days when she revealed the very first word she said after waking up from the coma was “no”.
“I’m pretty sure that was God saying to me, ‘Do you want to come? Want to come up with me? No,'” she said, reportedly drawing laughter from the crowd.

A statement shared by her talent manager Guy Oseary to his Instagram page said: “On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.
“Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected,” it read in part.
