Madonna claims she had coronavirus at the end of last year’s Madame X tour

‘We all thought we had a very bad flu’

Madonna thinks she contracted coronavirus on the last leg of her Madame X Tour.

The singer and members of her crew felt ill after performing in Paris earlier this year.

In an Instagram post about how she helped raise money to go towards developing a vaccine, Madonna told her fans that she tested positive for anti-bodies which “means you HAD the virus”. She wrote: “I’m Grateful that I can be a part of supporting Research to Find the cure for Covid-19!!

“And just to clear things up for people who would rather believe sensationalist headlines than do their own research about the nature of this virus — I am not currently sick.

“We all thought we had a very bad flu. Thank God we are all healthy and well now. Hope that clears things up for the band wagon jumpers!! Knowledge is Power!”

Madonna’s comments come after she tested negative for the coronavirus last week.

“I took a test the other day,” the 61-year-old said on a video posted to her Instagram. “And I found out that I have the antibodies so tomorrow I’m just going to go on a long drive in a car, roll down the windows and I’m going to breathe in the Covid-19 air.”

She continued: “I hope the sun is shining. I have not been wanting to write lately but that does not mean I’m not thinking, thinking about what I want to write or want to say.”

The CDC says it is still unclear whether antibodies will make you immune to the virus or prevent you from getting infected again.
