Madonna made her return to the stage on Wednesday night, keeping her date at the London Palladium after cancelling ten shows during her Madame X Tour.
The pop diva wore knee supports as she performed the first gig of her 14-date UK leg of her world tour after cancelling Monday's show and being ordered to rest by doctors over knee and hip injuries.
Gushing social media reviews and five star write-ups from critics heralded the delayed gig, her first London date since 2015, as worth the wait.

Madonna has swapped arenas for intimate theatre venues for her Madame X tour, and on Wednesday took to the stage at the 2,286-capacity Palladium.
The highest-grossing female solo touring artist took concert-goers through five acts of her classic hits and new recordings from her 2019 Madame X album - her first release after living as a recluse in Lisbon for two years, as well as eight costume changes.
The star was also joined on stage by her seven-year-old twin daughters Stella and Estere and Mercy, 14, as well as her new toyboy boyfriend - backing dancer Ahlamalik Williams, 25.

The energetic show was not hindered by the knee and hip injuries that have forced her to cancel previous dates.
Last month, Madonna described being 'in tears from the pain of my injuries'. She added: '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.'
Referencing her ongoing injuries, the singer shared an Instagram photo of her skull-topped cane leaning against the sears of the London Palladium after Wednesday's show.

The star wore knee supports for the comeback show, telling the audience that she was thrilled to have 'made it' on stage. She said: 'I'm happy to have made it. How could I not do a show in London.'
Despite her high-energy performance, incorporating high kicks, the splits, and yoga poses, the 'Vogue' hitmaker also admitted things were 'not good in the knee and the hips' and asked for a chair to be brought on stage at one point. She quipped: 'Normally, I kneel for about 20 minutes here. I've been told I'm very good at it.'
Madonna reportedly replies on stretching, warm-ups, meditation and daily ice baths to ease the pain before gigs, refusing to compromise the choreography of her shows, something which both the critics and fans noticed in their gushing reviews.

Back to her best: The pop diva performed the first gig of her 14-date UK leg of her Madame X tour after cancelling Monday's show and being ordered to rest by doctors
On Saturday the singer told fans she was 'deeply sorry' but that she needed to 'put her body and her health first', cancelling Monday's schedulled gig.
'Under doctors guidance I have been told to rest for a few days,' she wrote on Instagram. 'As you all know, I have injuries that have plagued me since the beginning of the tour but I must always listen to my body.
'Please know that it hurts me more than you can imagine to have to cancel any shows.' She also cancelled dates in New York, Miami Beach, Los Angeles, Boston, and Lisbon.
Madonna assured fans she was ready to perform before Wednesday's concert as she shared a video of her daughter Estere drumming backstage with the all-female backing act Orquestra Batukadeiras, who are from Portugal, where the singer now lives.
She wrote alongside the video: 'Hello London......... We Finally Made it #madamextheatre #thelondonpalladium'.
