A note to my fans: As you all know i have multiple injuries and have had to cancel shows to give myself time to recover. So as not to surprise you i want to let you know ahead of time that I will be canceling 2 shows- on Feb 4 and Feb 11th at the Palladium in London. because doing 3 shows in a row is too much on my body and in fact my doctors insist i take a day off after every show but i believe can manage if i do 2 shows then I rest! Its a miracle i have gotten this far but a-lot has to do with the fact that i do 6 hours of re-hab every day. 3 hours before show and 3 after with multiple therapies. I also have switched to flat shoes and modified difficult. parts of the show. This has helped enormously but i still need to be careful and of course rest is the best medicine. i never want to cancel any show and Im determined that i will make it to the end if i pace myself. God Willing 🙏🏼 Refunds will be automatically issued to the credit card on which tickets were ordered. I appreciate your understanding and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you !! Madame ❌. #madamextheatre #thelondonpalladium

Injured to one knee and one hip
The 61-year-old star began his European tour in January, after performing in Los Angeles and New York. Injured to a knee and a hip from the start of the tour, she has already canceled several shows, including two dates in Lisbon, Portugal, and the first in the London series.
On Instagram, she explains that “doing three concerts at a time is too much for [her] body, and [her] doctors insist that [she] take a day off after each concert. "But I think I can get away with doing two concerts and then a day off!" "
Six hours of rehabilitation per day
"It's a miracle if I held out until then," continues the star, "but it's mainly because I have six hours of rehabilitation per day." Three hours before the show, and three hours after, with several treatments. She also explains that she opted for flat shoes, and modified certain "difficult" parts of the show.
Madonna is expected in Paris, at the Grand Rex, for fourteen concerts from February 20 to March 11.
