Im Grateful that I can be a part of supporting Research to Find the cure for Covid -19 !! 🙏🏼 And just to clear things up for people who would rather believe sensationalist headlines than do their own research about the nature of this virus— I am not currently sick. When you test positive for anti-bodies it means you HAD the virus which I. clearly did as I was sick at the end of my tour in Paris over 7 weeks ago along with many other artists in my show but at the time We all thought we had a very bad flu. Thank God we are all healthy and well now. Hope that clears things up for the band wagon jumpers !! Knowledge is Power! # covid19

"But at the time, we all thought we had a really bad flu. Thank goodness we're all fit and healthy now," said the 61-year-old star.

All these details had not been revealed when Madonna's world tour ended on March 9 before the last two dates scheduled in the French capital. 

A turbulent passage to Paris

The "Madame X Tour", started in New York in September, had previously passed through Chicago, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Boston, Philadelphia, Miami, Lisbon and London.

The Parisian stopover was epic between 3:30 am delay (start of the show at midnight) for the first Parisian evening on the night of February 22 to 23, then a performance canceled on March 1 due to "permanent injuries" of the singer , according to the Grand Rex, the room that hosted it. 

Dancer, prisoner, mother, singer, saint, prostitute, spy, activist - Madonna was all this at once and much more in this most intimate, committed and probably ambitious show of her career. Jean Paul Gaultier, her favorite designer who again signed for her an equally provocative wardrobe, was in the front row, the first evening in Paris.
