Madonna is said to have struggled to continue her Madame X show at Le Grand Rex in Paris on Thursday night. 

The singer, 61, who has been battling on through her 12-night residency despite her knee and hip injuries, reportedly had to be held up by a backing dancer after falling off her chair. 

Despite the pain, Madonna who has been relying on her cane and knee supports to walk, carried on the two and a half hour show after breaking down in tears on stage, reports The Sun. 

One fan wrote on Twitter: 'A friend who attended @Madonna Thursdays show told me that at the end of Vogue, she missed the chair and fell on the floor.

'A dancer had to help her on to the chair and then during the Polaroid part she broke in to tears and couldn’t stop. #madonna #madamex #MadameXTour'. 

MailOnline has contacted Madonna's representatives for comment.  

It's the 11th tour for the Queen of pop, who has just eight shows left out of her 79 tour dates. 

The all-theatre tour started on September 17, 2019, in New York City, and is set to conclude on March 11, in Paris. 

Madonna was forced to cancel 14 shows, with the most recent being her first performance in Paris last Thursday due to her crippling injuries which she described caused her 'indescribable pain'. 

Last month, Madonna described being 'in tears from the pain of my injuries'. She said: 'I consider myself a warrior. I never quit, I never give in, I never give up! However, this time I have to listen to my body and accept my pain is a warning.' 

Madonna also revealed that she has to do six hours of rehab every day due to her serious injury and claimed that it's a 'miracle' she has been able to get this far on the tour. 

She wrote: 'It's a miracle I have gotten this far but a-lot has to do with the fact that I do 6 hours of re-hab every day 3 hours before show and 3 after with multiple therapies.

'I have also switched to flat shoes and modified difficult parts of the show. This has helped enormously but I still need to be careful and of course rest is the best medicine.'

Madonna is next set to take to the stage on Saturday.
