After her infamous fall on stage at the 2015 Brit Awards, Madonna has revealed that she suffered from whiplash injuries.
The incident, which became a viral hit online, was the result of her Armani cape being tied too tight before the performance but she denied it was a publicity stunt.
The singer, 56, said:
"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. 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 I was still conscious."
Madonna admitted the problem arose as a result of her performance being different to the rehearsal, adding:
"So here I am marching in like the Queen and I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled my silky string and it did not come undone. And my two lovely Japanese dancers basically strangled me off the stage. I had a choice - I could either de-strangle or fall with the cape, and I fell."
