Right now, she's in the North America branch of her tour, oscillating between the U.S. and Canada, but for those who can't see her live, Madonna is providing plenty of behind-the-scenes snaps, including one that's generated a lot of buzz that shows her sucking on a piece of candy.

Madonna has been charging on despite her recent health scare Madonna had been hospitalized just last summer / Dennis Van Tine/starmaxinc.com STAR MAX 2016 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Those following the momentum of Madonna's touring schedule would not believe anything had been seriously wrong not too long ago. Over the summer, she had been rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive in her New York apartment. "On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU," shared her manager, Guy Oseary. Madonna worried for her family if something more happened to her / Instagram In December, Madonna shared with attendees of her Brooklyn, New York concert that she'd been in a coma for 48 hours. "I do not take anything that happened for granted," she said, reflecting on how a friend of hers, Siobhan, saved her life. "There are some very important people here who were with me in the hospital. There's one very important woman who dragged me to the hospital. ... I passed out on my bathroom floor and woke up in the ICU." When she awoke, all six of her children were at her bedside and there was a jest of how she had to "almost die" to get everyone together at the same time. But there was also an acute awareness of all that was almost lost, compounded by the fact that her own mother had died of cancer, and was horrified for those she was leaving behind. "I was thinking, what if I left my children?'" Madonna admitted. "That would destroy me if I left my children at this moment in their lives. ... How scared she must have been to know that she was going to leave us all behind."
