CNN —Madonna took the stage in London on Saturday in the long-awaited debut of her surprisingly poignant new ‘Celebration’ world tour, which had been delayed after she suffered a serious health scare during the summer.
The “Like a Virgin” performer also addressed her health troubles, saying it had been “a crazy year for me.”“I didn’t think I was going to make it, neither did my doctors.
Madonna battled a bacterial infection in June that caused her to cancel the first leg of the “Celebration” tour in North America.
Indeed, it should be noted for Madonna’s die-hards that the tour is not at all reserved only for her chart hits.
Madonna often faced away from the audience, performing to a camera that then projected a flawless-looking Madge back to the crowd.
