The Celebration Tour not only pays homage to her long history of hit songs, Madonna also uses the platform to tell the story of how she become a global pop icon after arriving in New York City in 1978 with just $35 in her pocket.
Additional standout moments from the performance involve the singer gracing the stage alongside her children, such as Lourdes Leon, David Banda, and James.
The show also features a poignant tribute to the millions of people who lost their lives to Aids-related complications.
Throughout her remarkable career, Madonna has launched 14 studio albums, with the latest, Madame X, debuting in 2019.
The actress holds the record as the top-selling female recording artist of all time, with global sales surpassing 300 million records.
Madonna was forced to cancel some dates when she was rushed to Intensive Care to treat a bacterial infection in June.
During one of her October shows in Belgium, Madonna said: ‘Less than four months ago, I was in a hospital and I was unconscious, and people were thinking, predicting that I might not make it.
‘So, it’s a f***ing miracle that I’m here right now. My mother, God bless her, she must be watching over me…she said, “Girl, it’s not your time to go.”
‘I had this strange thought. I suddenly had sympathy and empathy for my mother, not about the dying part, but how lonely she must have felt laying in hospital, knowing that she wasn’t going to live, and I was given another chance,’ she added.
‘So I’m very grateful for that,’ Madonna continued, and then admitted, ‘I must tell you, I don’t feel really well right now, but I can’t complain ’cause I’m alive.’
‘Thank God for my children and all of you for your love and support, I really appreciate it.’
Madonna has six children: Lourdes Leon, 27, Rocco Ritchie, 23, David Banda, 18, Mercy James, 17, and twins Stella and Estere, 11, who took Madonna’s surname Ciccone.
Lourdes is Madonna’s daughter from seven-time Academy Award winner’s relationship with personal trainer-turned-actor Carlos Leon, and Rocco her marriage to director Guy Ritchie.
