The “Crazy For You” singer canceled the last show of the North America leg of her Madame X tour in Miami due to a mystery ailment and “indescribable” pain. In December 2019, Madonna underwent a medical procedure after she canceled three tour dates in Boston because of health complications. In October 2019, the singer had to postpone one of her shows that was scheduled at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York.
On Sunday, January 19, one of Madonna’s shows in Lisbon, Portugal, was canceled 45 minutes before the “Material Girl” singer was set to take the stage.
The pop star addressed the cancellation in a video posted on her Instagram on Monday, January 20th. “Thank you again, Lisbon! Sorry, I had to cancel tonight but I must listen to my body and rest!! That white port got me through the rest of the show!” Madonna captioned the clip, which showed her sitting on a piano and having a drink. “See you on Tuesday fingers crossed.”
The “Vogue” singer hasn’t stated what has been causing her pain but on November 27 she posted a photo of a “usual Ice Bath for multiple injuries” on her Instagram account and thanked her “gang-gang-for being my hype squad!”
