Madonna has spoken out on her 'near-death' experience after being put in an induced coma.

The 65-year-old 'Holiday' singer, who has been treating fans to her critically-acclaimed Celebration Tour, left people terrified last June after her management team revealed she'd been admitted to the intensive care unit following a serious bacterial infection.

Fears over the singer's health only intensified after reports emerged that Madonna had been induced into a coma, after she was said to have been found unresponsive in her New York City apartment.

Madonna was able to get back to her home in the Big Apple about a week later, and a few days after that, she shared a statement to thank those who had sent her 'positive energy, prayers and words of healing and encouragement'.

She was scheduled to kick off her 40th anniversary Celebration Tour, all about 'highlighting her unmatched catalog of music from the past 40-plus years', last July but had to postpone it to start in October instead.

Since then, the pop icon has opened up about the traumatic ordeal and shared a sweet message to her entourage.

She took to Instagram yesterday (25 April) to share an update with her 19.3 million followers.

She posted a series of sweet snaps of herself and her team including musicians and dancers who see referred to as her 'children'.

Madonna captioned the photo dump: "On the day before our 80th show of the Celebration Tour I need to acknowledge my incredibly talented children who carried me through this Journey each of them bringing their own unique talent to the stage."

She explained that rehearsals began 'over a year ago' with almost a two-month break waiting for the singer to 'recover from a near-death experience'.

"They never stopped practicing… they never stopped cheering me on and supporting me," Madonna continued. "Their enthusiasm kept me Going!!!

"They were also going to school and rehearsing every night. !! . am so very proud of all of them."

The Grammy award-winning hit-maker continued: "I think what my children learned the most this year of rehearsing and performing is that if you want to follow your dreams, you have to work hard for them.

"And if all of them choose something different later in life, they will never forget this year of blood, sweat, and tears. Nor will I."

She aptly signed off the heartfelt post adding: "It’s a CELEBRATION!"

Earlier this year, Madonna delved into further detail about her time spent in a coma, even going as far as revealing what her first word was when she awoke.

"This show every night is not really so hard on me physically. It’s hard on me emotionally because I’m really telling you the story of my life," she gushed.

"My heart is on my sleeve. I’ve fallen off a lot of horses and broken a lot of bones… but nothing can stop me."

After her assistant revealed that her first word was 'No!', Madonna went on: "I’m pretty sure that was God saying to me, 'Do you want to come? Want to come up with me?'"
