“Things have got to change”

Madonna opens up on her Instagram, addressing the events of the past few days and the struggle going on with her body injuries, taking the time to say how deeply sorryshe is to all her fans for having to cancel her last show and what that means to her.

As I climbed the ladder to sing Batuka on Saturday night in Miami
I was in tears from the pain of my injuries, which has been indescribable for the past few days
With every song I sang, I said a prayer that I would make it to the next and get thru the show.
My prayers were answered,
And I made it.
I consider myself a warrior
I never quit, I never give in, I never give up!! However this time I have to listen to my body
And accept that my pain is a warning
I want to say how deeply sorry I am to all my fans. For having to cancel my last show.
I spent the last two days with doctors
Scans, ultra sounds, Xrays
Poking and probing and more tears.
They have made it very clear to me that if l’am to continue my tour – I must rest for as long as possible so that I don’t inflict further and Irreversible damage to my body.
I have never let an injury stop me from performing but this time i have to accept that there is no shame in being human and having to press the pause button…
I thank you all for your understanding, love and support.
As the Words to Batuka go…. It’s a Long Road… Lord Have Mercy. Things have got to change.
And they will because Maddame X is a fighter!! Happy Holidays to Everyone.
