Madonna made a bold statement at her sold-out concert at Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, showcasing her muscles in a skimpy red négligée.The daring outfit served a special purpose as the 65-year-old Queen of Pop celebrated her daughter Chifundo ‘Mercy’ James Kambewa Ciccone’s 18th birthday during the performance.The Michigan-born singer had her daughter Mercy join her on piano for the 1992 track ‘Bad Girl‘, and her 18-year-old son David Banda Mwale Ciccone accompanied her on guitar for the 2003 song ‘Mother and Father‘.
Madonna’s recent health struggles, including a serious bacterial infection that led to a 48-hour medically induced coma and the star being revived by NARCAN injection in June, have not deterred her from continuing her music career. The singer, with 44.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify, is currently on her Celebration Tour, which has grossed $77.4 million over 79 dates.
Teaming up with creative director Lewis James and musical director Stuart Price, Madonna has curated a spectacular stage presentation for her 12th concert tour, honoring her four-decade-long career. Instead of a traditional band or singer, Madonna chose RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 champion Bob the Drag Queen as the opening act for her shows.
Despite Madonna’s previous health setbacks, including knee and hip injuries that led to the cancellation of 14 shows during her Madame X Tour in 2019-2020, as per USA Today, she remains resilient. The ongoing coronavirus pandemic posed further challenges, but Madonna underwent knee surgery in April 2020, followed by hip surgery in November 2020, along with regenerative treatment for “missing cartilage,” the Mirror detailed.
Looking ahead, Madonna has plans to direct her own Universal Pictures biopic titled Little Sparrow, featuring actress and three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner.
Collaborating on the script with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, Madonna eventually brought Independent Spirit Award-winning screenwriter Erin Wilson on board after Cody’s departure. The biopic is set to explore Madonna’s illustrious career and personal journey.

This baby was born with a unique birthmark and here is how she looks today…
A few years ago, the world welcomed a beautiful child named Natalie in one of America’s maternity facilities, an event eagerly anticipated by her parents. This was no accidental pregnancy; it had been meticulously planned, and the expectant parents were fully prepared to welcome the new addition to their family.
However, the joyous moment of Natalie’s birth was met with a mix of emotions, particularly for her mother, Lacey. Baby Natalie came into the world with a striking birthmark covering half of her face, a sight that moved Lacey to tears. In that instant, the parents’ world was filled with uncertainty and concern.
Yet, the medical professionals attending to Natalie were quick to offer reassurance. After conducting comprehensive examinations, they confirmed that there were no health issues that posed a threat to the baby’s well-being.
The birthmark, while uncommon, was something that happened on occasion, with no clear explanation for its occurrence. It might be attributed to a genetic anomaly that defied medical treatment.
As time passed, and Natalie grew older, her parents began to ponder the possibility of surgical intervention to address the birthmark. They explored the idea with a medical team, but the experts advised against it.
They emphasized that such a procedure, at Natalie’s young age, would likely cause her unnecessary pain without providing substantial benefits. Ultimately, the parents made the heartfelt decision not to pursue surgery.
