Madonna was a guest on Jonathan Ross Show where she spoke about her major fall during while performing her new single - 'Living For Love' at BRIT Awards on Wednesday.
During the interview which will air in mid-March, Madonna opened up about what went wrong, and described the very embarrassing fall as a 'horror show', and also revealed that she would allow her children try drugs in moderation. Like seriously Madonna?
She said contrary to what fans are saying, the fall wasn't a set up. Asked if she thought the lyrics of the song which referenced a fall, influenced the stunts, she said:
"I'm never writing lyrics like that again! The universe was trying to teach me a lesson I guess. I'm 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."
Asked why she didn't sustain any bruise on her backside:
"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,' she explained.
"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."
"It was a horrible nightmare because I like to be amazing. Seriously I rehearse and I rehearse and I rehearse so that when I do the show, it's effortless and I create magic and I did the opposite.
"I actually created a horror show for everyone," she joked.
Asked to comment on the drug-related lyrics of her song - Devil Pray, which includes lyrics like - "we can get high, we can get stoned, we can do Es, we can do acid", she said:
"I am not a big fan of drugs. They just don't suit me,' she confessed. 'The handful of times I have tried drugs, many many many many years ago, I just didn't enjoy it. I wanted it out of me. I started guzzling bottles of water thinking that was going to end it."
Pressed o how she discusses drugs related issues with children - Lourdes, 18, Rocco, 14, Mercy, nine, and David, also nine.
"I just ask my daughter [Lourdes] to make wise decisions and to do things in moderation and to try not to mix her alcohol,' she divulged.
"I am not going to say "no, don't do it" because that is just absurd. And it is not fair. Yeah, I did it."
