Thanking her friend Shavawn, she added, “I don’t even remember; I passed out on my bathroom floor and woke up in the ICU. I was in an induced coma for 48 hours. She saved my life. Thank you Shavawn.”
The Material Girl hitmaker, a follower of Kabbalah (school of thought in Jewish mysticism), went on to thank her spiritual teacher for staying by her side.
“The only voice I heard was his. I heard him say, “Squeeze my hand,’” she recalled.
Madonna went on to thank her seven children, Lourdes (aged 27), Rocco (aged 23), David (aged 18), Mercy James (aged 17) and twins Estere & Stelle (aged 11), for being by her side in the hospital.
“When I first became conscious and I saw my six incredible children sitting around me – by the way, I had to almost die to get all my kids in one room,” she said.
