The singer Madonna arrived in Rio de Janeiro this Monday (29th) for the performance she will give at Copacabana Beach on Saturday (4th) wearing dark clothes, protecting all her skin and wearing a large hat. The artist’s appearance attracted attention, but it is not new. This because Madonna does not sunbathe.

At 65 years old, the singer has made it a practice since she was young not to receive UV rays. She argues that this would help with health and skin. In an interview, she even said that she doesn’t want contact with the sun and has also never used cigarettes: “Until I have money to buy specific products, avoiding these two things saved me.”

Madonna says she doesn’t want to have a lot of plastic surgery now that she’s older. Her goal is to have her health strengthened on her own. When she goes to the beach, for example, I wear clothes covering almost the entire body and always a cap or hat.

In 2023, the artist was hospitalized before the start of the Celebration Tour due to a serious bacterial infection. She spent four days in an induced coma. Among the doctors’ first requests after she was discharged was to sunbathe to get a higher incidence of vitamin D. Even though she was upset, she accepted:

“And I hate the sun, but I did it anyway, and it was really hard for me to walk from my house to the backyard and sit in the sun,” he argued.
