Madonna enjoyed lunch with her daughter Mercy James in New York City on Saturday.
The 65-year-old pop superstar exuded effortless elegance in an all-black ensemble during the rare outing with the 18-year-old skate enthusiast.
In June 2023, the pop star was rushed to hospital after being found unconscious due to a severe bacterial infection. She was admitted to the ICU and required intubation.
She later revealed that she had been put in a medically induced coma as she fought for her life and faced complications including lung and kidney failure.
The star is now embracing her newfound health, posting a series of provocative photos on Instagram.
She wrote: ‘Happy 4th of July! One year ago today, I had just returned home from the hospital after surviving a life-threatening illness. I could barely stand in my backyard holding a sparkler.
“I made a miraculous recovery and had a wonderful year. Thank you, God. Life is beautiful!”
Originally scheduled to kick off on July 15, 2023 in Vancouver, Canada, The Celebration Tour was postponed for three months following the health scare.
The tour eventually kicked off with a four-night run at London’s O2 Arena on October 14 and continued through Europe until early December.
It culminated on May 4 with an epic free concert on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana Beach, attracting a staggering 1.6 million fans.

It is now considered the largest independent concert in history, according to the Economic times.
After the tour ended, Madonna took to social media to praise her children, saying she was “so proud of all of them” and the lessons they learned during the concerts.
“I think what my kids learned most this year of rehearsing and performing is that if you want to follow your dreams, you have to work hard for them,” she said.
“And if they all choose something different later in life, they will never forget this year of blood, sweat and tears. I won’t forget it either.”
