In an email to her fans, she wrote: "As you all know, I have injuries that have plagued me since the beginning of the tour but I must always listen to my body and put my health first.
"The last thing I want to do is disappoint my fans or compromise the integrity of my show. So I will keep going until I cannot… Thank you again for your understanding."
Madonna also took to Instagram to plead for forgiveness from her followers.
She wrote: "Please forgive this unexpected turn of events. Doing my show every night brings me so much joy and to cancel is a kind of punishment for me.
"But the pain I’m in right now is overwhelming and I must rest and follow doctors orders so I can come back stronger and better and continue the Madame X journey with all of you."
