According to FemaleFirst, the pop singer has anxiety attacks and worries she may die on stage.
Madonna, who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Monday evening (March 10), suffers from severe stress before concerts, and uses extreme means to calm herself.
She explained, "I have moments where I feel incredibly invincible and know that I have the audience in my hand – I know that everything is absolutely perfect. And then I have panic attacks where I feel like everyone is breathing my air and I cannot live up to everybody’s expectations and I might just die on stage."
Madonna explained that when she feels this way she turns her back to the audience, takes a deep breath, and reminds herself it is only temporary.
