Madonna, 65, has son David Banda, 18, close at hand as she steps out in Paris... after revealing she suffered lung and kidney failure during health crisis with 40% chance she would die

Madonna had her son David Banda, 18, close at hand when she was spotted emerging from the Paris Ritz this Tuesday.

The 65-year-old pop diva has been whirling through Europe on her Celebration World Tour, which began in London last month after being postponed because of her shocking ICU stay in June.

Onstage at the Accor Arena in Paris, Madonna finally revealed that she suffered lung and kidney failure during her life-threatening health scare.

'I was infected with some bacteria that nobody knows about. And there is a 40% mortality rate,' she said, according to The Sun. 

When she was spotted Tuesday, Madonna, who often speaks glowingly of how her children saw her through her crisis, kept David nearby.

David, whom Madonna adopted from Malawi, could be spotted by the Material Girl as she left the hotel sporting a youthful set of platinum pigtails.

She partially obscured her stunningly smooth complexion with a tilted-down baseball cap and a large pair of sunglasses. 

Bundling up against the autumnal chill, she pulled on a boxy black hoodie and a matching set of trousers, adding a touch of showbiz glamour with earrings.

Madonna sharpened her features with makeup, including a popping slick of blood-red lipstick, and rounded off her look with leather shoes polished to the gleam. 

The Celebration Tour was meant to begin in mid-July with a North American leg that would sweep through over 20 cities in the United States and Canada.

However, that leg had to be delayed after Madonna's health took a sudden downturn that struck terror into the hearts of her global fanbase.

She was confined to the ICU for several days after contracting what her manager announced was a 'serious bacterial infection.' 

A report in Radar Online sensationally alleged that she suffered acute septic shock and was revived with Narcan, which is typically used to treat overdoses.

Onstage in Paris during her current stint, she said: 'I was in the hospital. I was in the ICU. My lungs weren't working, I wasn't breathing on my own.'

She went on: 'My kidneys were failing. I was infected with some bacteria that nobody knows about. And there is a 40% mortality rate.'

Madonna recalled: 'When I woke up I saw all my children around me and I thought this is what will save me. My children will save me. It's not me who saved them.'

Guy Oseary, who has been her manager since 2005 and was her business partner before that, raced to her bedside when her health plummeted.

'My manager came to me and he was weeping next to me. I came home from the hospital two weeks later, and nobody knew when I would get better. "He was like 'do you want to go back on the road? Do you want your tour to happen?"' said Madonna.

'I was breathing oxygen through a cannula through my nose, I could barely get out of bed to walk to the bathroom and I said 'give me two weeks to think about it.'

She reflected: 'You know, I think of myself as Wonder Woman. I think I can overcome anything, anything but this time I could bring the will.'

Madonna added: 'I didn't have the strength. I had no energy, it was taken from me. So the two weeks went by and I still had barely any energy. I could drink espressos, four Red Bulls. Nothing woke me up. I had no life force.'

However her 'children saved me,' the Express Yourself singer reiterated. 'They made me keep going and I recovered faster than most people would.'

David has been accompanying his mother on tour not just to provide moral support, but also to play onstage during the concerts.

He could be seen at her Paris dates accompanying Madonna on guitar during her numbers Let's Go Crazy and Mother And Father.

Madonna, who praised David's biological mother from the stage, adopted four of her six children - David, Mercy, 17, and twins Stella and Estere, 10 - from Malawi.  

She and a fitness trainer called Carlos Leon share a 27-year-old daughter called Lola, who has followed her mother's footsteps into the music business.

Madge then had Rocco, 23, with her film director husband Guy Ritchie, whom she was married to from 2000 through 2008.
