Madonna was known as “Madge” by the people of England and the world, but the world did not know the real reason until now.
A new biography of the Queen of Pop came out this week, “Madonna: A Rebel Life” by Mary Gabriel.
According to the Daily Mail, Mary noted that British people started calling Madonna “Madge” at the turn of the century. While she was in the country to work on her 2000 music album in Britain, the name stuck as audiences saw her more as a “natural” pop star than a singer.
But Madge’s second husband Guy Ritchie tells a different story. In an attempt to boost her ego and make her feel extraordinary, Guy told Madonna that “Madge” was short for Her Majesty, and her Madge was actually Queen Elizabeth’s nickname at the time.
The new autobiography comes as the Queen of Pop prepares herself for her world tour. The tour was supposed to start in July, but just weeks before her first tour date, she ended up in the hospital.
Madge is being treated for a serious bacterial infection at a hospital in New York, her manager Guy Osiri shared the news on Instagram. A few days after the announcement, he was discharged from the hospital and sent home to recover.
Madonna’s tour dates have been rescheduled, with a celebration tour set to kick off in London later this month. The tour comes 40 years after the release of his debut album of the same name, British newspaper “Mirror” reported.
