Kathy Griffin Fiercely Defends Madonna Amid Her Hospitalization

Madonna has previously opened up about undergoing hip replacement surgery in 2020 after suffering injuries during her 2019 Madame X tour, which prompted her to cancel several shows in North America and one in Portugal.

“During my [2019 Madame X] tour—I don’t know if you’ve noticed it, but I’m limping a lot—I was in more pain that I’ve ever been in in my life,” she said in her 2021 Madame X Presents: Madame Xtra Q&A special, per Extra. “I’m a bionic woman—I had hip replacement surgery.”

But the “Hung Up” singer was determined to make sure she was physically and mentally ready to take on all of life’s challenges. 

“So, how do I stay in shape?” she continued. “It’s all in your head…It’s called will, it’s called no one’s gonna stop me, and how I stay in shape is no one’s gonna stop me. And how I stay in shape is I don’t believe in limitations.”
