Beyoncé gave Madonna a shout-out at her most recent ‘Renaissance’ world tour show in New Jersey this past weekend.

The 64-year-old pop icon was spotted in attendance at the second night of the ‘Renaissance’ tour at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, July 30. It was one of her first public appearances since being hospitalised in the ICU last month due to a serious bacterial infection.

“Big shout-out to the queen,” Beyoncé said while dancing down the catwalk in a glittering pink ensemble to one of the Vogue sections of ‘Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)’.

“Queen Mother, Madonna, we love you,” she added, while the crowd cheered.

On July 10, the ‘Material Girl’ singer announced that the North American leg of her 40th-anniversary ‘Celebration’ tour was being postponed so she could focus on her “health and getting stronger”.

“Thank you for your positive energy, prayers and words of healing and encouragement. I have felt your love. I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life,” Madonna shared in a statement on Instagram.

She recently reflected on her health scare after one month of being out of the hospital, sharing that she feels “lucky to be alive”.

“Love from family and friends is the best Medicine,” she began her post. “One month out of the hospital and I can reflect.

“As a mother you can really get caught up in the needs of your children and the seemingly endless giving. But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me. I saw a side to them I had never seen before.”

Madonna also thanked her friends for their “love and support” in the post, which included a photo of her with son David and another with daughter Lourdes.
Another image showed her holding a framed polaroid of Keith Haring wearing a jacket with Michael Jackson‘s face painted on it, taken by Andy Warhol.
“I sobbed when I opened this gift because I realized how lucky I am to be alive. And how fortunate I am to have known these people and so many others who are also gone.”
She finished her post: “Thank you to all my angels who protected me and let me stay to finish doing my work.”
The star’s current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in Europe this October.
Madonna’s relatives were reportedly “preparing for the worst” after she was admitted to intensive care.
