Madonna staggers but does not give up: supported on a stick at the end of the concert

You know you are getting old when one of your idols walks around supported by a stick. We're talking about Madonna and no, it's not a joke. This force of nature appears increasingly tired and fragile and it is not surprising, quite the contrary. We remember, in fact, that our "Material Girl" has the beauty of 61 years and, until now, has never given up a beat. Unfortunately, however, the Madame X Tour got off to a bad start. Pardon, the wrong hip and knee.

Due to an injury, the singer was forced to cancel some dates at the Palladium in London and, even during concerts, the adrenaline rush of her performances is just an old memory. More and more often, in fact, Madonna sings leaning against a chair, trying, however, to infuse the fans with the charge that distinguishes her. Their apprehension at seeing the darling supported by a bodyguard and a cane as she leaves the theater was enormous. The artist, visibly worn out, lacks the strength even to reach the car at a distance of a few meters.

The photo, which has been around the world, shows us an unprecedented version of the woman, known for her intensive gym workouts and, consequently, her sculptural body. Now, however, at the end of each concert, the Queen of Pop undergoes six hours of treatment, three before entering the scene and three after.

Despite the problems of a physical nature, Madonna continues to go on stage, where the passion for the work she has been doing very well for years is still palpable. Of the series, I stagger but not give up.
