Madonna said Thursday she has recovered from the coronavirus which forced her to pull out of a string of concerts in Paris in February and March.
The “Queen of Pop†said she had tested positive for antibodies which may mean she had COVID-19 – though at the time she said she didn’t realise she had it.
“I am not currently sick,†she told her 15 million followers on Instagram.
“When you test positive for anti-bodies 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,†she said.
The 61-year-old star only played a single night in Paris on February 22 before calling off the next show, citing “ongoing injuriesâ€.
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 all thought we had a bad flu,†Madonna wrote in her post.
“Thank God we are all healthy and well now.â€
