Health-stricken “Queen of Pop” Madonna turns 65

Madonna had to postpone the start of her long-planned “Celebration Tour” across Canada, the United States, Mexico and Europe. The tour should start in Europe in October at the earliest. Madonna said she was “on the mend” shortly after her hospital stay.

Madonna wrote: “I am now focusing on my health and getting stronger, and I can assure you that I will be with you again as soon as possible.” When she woke up in the hospital, her first thought was the thought of her children. now. The second idea was for their fans. The illness took the star off tour preparations, which she kept her fans updated via social media.

With the “Celebration Tour” Madonna not only wants to celebrate her birthday, but also her 40th birthday, because her first album “Madonna” was released in 1983. For the person who is now 65 years old, 40 years of acting also means 40 years in the headlines Main.

She didn’t appear on the front page of Vanity Fair until the beginning of the year – and she still appears to be in the best of health and spirits as Mary, the mother of Jesus. “Now is the time for me,” she said in the accompanying interview. “I brainstorm, get inspired, meet creative people, watch movies, see art, and listen to music.”

Soon after, she appeared at the Grammy Awards to announce performances by fellow musicians Sam Smith and Kim Petras, and her change of appearance sparked controversy. The photos were taken with a camera with a long lens and “would distort everyone’s face,” Madonna complained via Instagram. “Once again, she finds herself caught in the glare of anti-aging and misogyny,” she continues, lamenting “in a world that refuses to celebrate women over 45 and feels the need to punish them if they persist.” and adventure.”

Madonna Louise Ciccone was born in Michigan in 1958 into a large family of Italian descent. Her mother died when she was a little girl. After graduating from school, Madonna went to New York, took various jobs and began working on a career as a dancer and singer. Recently deceased music manager Seymour Stein discovered her during her first shows and signed her.

Madonna’s debut album was already a success – and laid the foundation for an exceptional worldwide career: about a dozen more albums, hundreds of millions of albums sold, more success as an actress and countless awards. Many of the Queen of Pop’s songs have always been a mixture of melodic pop, dance-pop, and electro-eroticism, like “Material Girl,” “Like a Virgin,” or “Like a Prayer.”

Madonna has also made comebacks several times over the decades – she seems to dictate the rules of her entire career and is considered the first woman to fully control her music and her image as a pop star.

Even in private, Madonna never let it be spoken about and made headlines time and time again. She has been married twice, first to American actor Sean Penn, and then to British director Guy Ritchie, and has appeared repeatedly in various relationships. In addition to two biological children, Madonna has adopted four children.

Firstly, she did not want to become a mother for a long time – then the role overwhelmed her, the musician recently wrote on Instagram. “I walked half blind through many years and made many mistakes.” As a mother, she has experienced her “highest feelings” and her “deepest flaws”—but meanwhile she is above all happy and grateful: “My children are all stars and I am glad their souls have chosen me as their mother.”
