The singer was in the midst of her 12-night residency at Le Grand Rex in Paris when she fell off a chair and suffered an injury to her knee, which she had previously injured and was even seen using a cane to walk.
A friend of someone who saw the injury happen said on social media, ‘A friend who attended @Madonna Thursdays show told me that at the end of Vogue, she missed the chair and fell on the floor.’
