Madonna, who originally told her Instagram followers that she was "fine" after falling from the stage at the BRIT Awards, wasn't being entirely honest.
During a taping of ITV's The Jonathan Ross Show, for an episode that will air next month, Madonna confesses, "I didn't hurt my butt, I hurt my head.
"I know how to fall. I've fallen off my horse many times, and I tucked, and I have good core strength … but the thing is, I had a little bit of a whiplash."
"I smacked the back of my head. So, there was a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3 a.m. making sure that I was still compos mentis."
"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."
"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."
"I got to 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."
The 56-year-old said the incident was bruising for another reason, as well.
"It was a horrible nightmare, because I like to be amazing," she said.
"Seriously, I rehearse and 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."
Her reputation for magic precedes her so much that some people actually thought it was a stunt, based off the "Living for Love" lyrics, which include lines like:
"Took me to heaven, let me fall down, lifted me up, watched me stumble."
If only.
"I'm never writing lyrics like that again! The universe was trying to teach me a lesson, I guess," Madonna joked, noting the irony of falling during the song.
