Madonna took time out of her concert on Saturday, December 16, to talk about her near-fatal health scare.

The star — who was found unresponsive in her New York City home in June — told the thousands of fans at the Barclays Center she “had to almost die” to get all six of her children “in one room” together.

Madonna was found unresponsive in June.

The 65-year-old noted she woke up after the incident in the hospital looking at her “scared” kids.

“The fact that I’m here right now is the f------ miracle,” she stated as the crowd erupted in cheers. “There are some people in this room tonight that were with me in the hospital.”

“There is one very important woman who dragged me to the hospital … I passed out on my bathroom floor and I woke up in the ICU,” she continued, thanking the mystery woman named Shavawn who “saved [her] life.”

"My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour," she added. "I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone."

The celeb then assured she would be better soon, noting, "My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I [assure] you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can! The current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe."
