After Madonna failed to get her cape untied in time for a planned removal by a dancer during her Brits awards performance, she fell backwards down a short set of stairs. Immediately following the show, she claimed that she was unhurt in the incident but, has now changed her story.
Madonna has now revealed that she actually is suffering from whiplash which is not unusual after the sudden backwards movement of the neck. In fact, it is most likely she didn’t feel that she was hurt that night as whiplash normally takes a day or so to become apparent.
The singer talked with TV host Jonathan Ross, telling him “I didn’t hurt my butt but I hurt my head. I had a little bit of whiplash, I smacked the back of my head. I had a man standing over me with a flashlight until about 3am to make sure I was compos mentis.”
She also told the paper the full story of what happened. “I was told to tie my cape and start much further back and I had to walk further and everyone was worried my cape was going to slide off so they tied it really tight. So here I am marching in like the Queen, I got to the top of the stairs and I pulled the slinky string and it wouldn’t come undone. My two lovely Japanese dancers, they basically strangled me off the stage. I could either be strangled or fall, and I chose to fall.”
Madonna went on to say that she is done with capes in her set.
