“Prior to, during, and following BTS!” The album was captioned by Madonna, who used the hashtag #madonnacelebrationtour to punctuate it. After being postponed due to a traumatic ICU hospitalization in June, her new tour began in October at the 02 Arena in London. Madonna disclosed the extent of her medical scare in November at a concert at the Accor Arena in Paris, revealing that she had experienced kidney and lung failure.

“Nobody knows about the bacterium that infected me. Additionally, the death rate is forty percent,” she revealed at the Paris event. Madonna’s admirers are inspired by her fortitude and her resolve to carry on performing in spite of her health issues, which is evidence of her enduring devotion to her craft.
