Queen of Pop Madonna has returned to the stage to work on the final reshoots for her forthcoming Madame X Tour concert film and documentary special.
Madonna supported her 2019 album with an impressive 75-date theatre jaunt, with stops across the US, mainland Europe and the UK through 2019/2020.
After wrapping the trek last March following eight shows in Paris, the I Rise singer was forced to take some necessary downtime, which included a number of surgeries following an ongoing knee complaint.
Taking to social media, Madonna revealed she was back fighting fit, as she slipped back into her Madame X Tour costumes to reshoot scenes for the concert movie.
“Happy to be able to step into my costumes after 10 months on crutches-surgery and a host of other physical challenges i can fit into my costumes,” she posted, alongside a clip of herself reviving a series of looks.

While details of the documentary have yet to be confirmed, according to reports Madonna’s taking the show to streaming giant Netflix.
In a recent Instagram post, LA-based production boutique VANDAL – which represents directing duo Sasha Kasiuha and VMA Award winner Nuno Xico – revealed the project in a since-deleted post.
Previewing upcoming “music-driven content”, they wrote: “First up is the Netflix documentary chronicling Madonna’s Madame X Tour.
“Coming from the world of film editorial and visual effects, respectively, Nuno and Sasha juxtapose traditional cinematic art form with cutting edge technologies and other mixed media, [to] create not just a story, but a sensation.”
Madonna previously teased on social media that she’s putting the finishing touches to the footage for release.
“Finally enough Love…………….. #ahlamalik #marvingofin #madamex #comingsoon,” she posted, along with a bunch of X emojis.
