After being jolted with Narcan, the famous singer was rushed to the ICU to be treated for a life-threatening bacterial infection. At the hospital, Madonna was intubated and put into a medically induced coma for four days.
Madonna opened up about the life-altering event during her performance first Celebration Tour show in Los Angeles Monday night. During the show, the 65-year-old singer said: "This show every night is not really so hard on me physically," she added: "It’s hard on me emotionally because I’m really telling you the story of my life. My heart is on my sleeve. I’ve fallen off a lot of horses and broken a lot of bones… but nothing can stop me."

I know that sounds insane, but it was difficult. It’s a strange thing to finally not feel like I was in control, and that was my lesson…to let go.'"
