HAD COVID DURING FEB TOUR: MADONNA
NOT SICK CURRENTLY, SAYS THE ‘QUEEN OF POP’
PARIS: Madonna said on Thursday she has had the coronavirus and that it was why she had to cancel a concert in Paris in February, though she is not currently sick.
The music star said she had tested positive for antibodies, which means she may have had Covid-19.
“I am not currently sick,” she told her 15 million followers on Instagram. “When you test positive for antibodies, it means you had the virus, which I clearly did as I was sick at the end of my tour in Paris over seven weeks ago along with many other artists in my show.”
The 61-year-old star only played a single night at the Grand Rex on February 22 before calling off the next show, citing “ongoing injuries”. She later called off two further Paris concerts - the last in her Madame X world tour - after French authorities banned large gatherings in a bid to stem the spread of the virus in early March.
“At the time, we thought we had a bad flu,” Madonna wrote in her post. “Thank god, we are all healthy and well now.”
