Madonna Madane X


Madonna announced on Instagram that she's canceling her third 'Madame X' show due to a knee injury.

Madonna has canceled yet another Madame X tour date in Paris after her persistent knee injury worsened by a fall taken on stage last Thursday, February 27.

The 61-year-old singer announced the news on Instagram Sunday morning, March 1, to address that she'll be canceling the third night of her Le Grand Rex residency.

The “Vogue” singer insisted that she needs to “stay in bed and rest for a few days.”

She wrote, “Here I am--flesh and blood.

“If only knees didn't twist and cartilage didn't tear and nothing hurt and tears never fell out of eyes… But alas, they do and thank God for this important reminder that we are human.

“I fell two nights ago on stage when a chair was literally pulled out from underneath me by mistake and I landed on the floor on my tail bone.

“I made it through the show last night but just barely because I hate disappointing.

“However, today even I can see that this broken doll, held together with tape and glue, needs to stay in bed and rest for a few days so she can finish the tour with a smile on her face and in one piece.

“Thank you for your understanding, Paris!”

According to reports, an official email notice was sent out to ticket holders after the announcement of the cancellation and noting “on-going injuries” as its cause.

The accident

It was on Thursday's show when Madonna fell onstage and sustained an injury.

One fan wrote on Twitter, “A friend who attended @madonna Thursdays show told me that at the end of Vogue, she missed the chair and fell on the floor.

“A dancer had to help her on to the chair and then during the Polaroid part, she broke into tears and couldn't stop. #madonna #madamex #MadameXTour”

By Saturday, the singer was seen carrying a cane.

Despite the pain, Madonna carried on the two and a half-hour show after breaking down in tears on stage.
