Madonna postpones ‘Madame X’ tour after knee injury

Madonna was forced to postpone Monday night’s show of the Madame X residency in New York after she sustained a knee injury.

The singer recently launched her mammoth Madame X tour, which will take her around the world for long stints at short venues.

Currently in the middle of a string of performances at the Brooklyn Academy Of Music, Madonna was forced to cancel her show on Monday night, revealing she’d been put on bed rest for three days after injuring her knee.

“It’s Hard for Madame X to admit that she is also a human being made of flesh and blood and she must rest for the next 3 days to insure full recovery for her knee,” Madonna wrote on Instagram. “I am not a quitter. This hurts me more than you can imagine

“It’s time to take those heels and fishnets off for a few days! Thank you for your understanding.. See you very soon!!”

A statement posted on Madonna’s website also said: “Madonna is currently dealing with a knee injury and has been advised rest for the next three days to assist in her recovery. Fans are encouraged to hold onto their tickets pending information on rescheduling.”

This marks the first time since 2012 that Madonna has had to pull out of a show on medical grounds.

She is currently scheduled to return to the stage on Thursday, which is expected to go ahead as planned.
