Queen of Pop Madonna has spoken out for the first time since dramatically falling from the stage at the 2015 BRIT Awards.
In what was supposed to be the star’s big comeback performance, Madge was spectacularly dragged from the stage after she failed to untie her dramatic cape.
Appearing on Jonathan Ross after the incident, Madonna revealed that she had been left with minor injuries following the fall.
She explained: “I didn't hurt my butt, I hurt my head. I did. I know how to fall, I've fallen off my horse many times and I tucked and I have good core strength.
“But the thing is, I had a little bit of a whiplash and I smacked the back of my head so there was a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am making sure that I was still compos mentis.”
When Jonathan Ross asked the star if the fall was a stunt due to the nature of the lyrics, Madonna said: “I’m never writing lyrics like that again! The universe was trying to teach me a lesson I guess.”
The 56-year-old continued: “’Im a creature of habit and I rehearse everything - everything, everything, everything - and I was thrown a wrench at the very beginning of my entrance. I was told to tie my cape and start much further back than we had rehearsed so because I had to walk so much further, everybody was worried that my cape was going to slide off because it's quite heavy so they tied it really tight around my neck.
“So here I am marching in like a queen and I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled my silky string and it would not come undone and my two lovely Japanese dancers basically strangled me off the stage. I had a choice, I could either be strangled or fall with the cape and I fell.”
