The 65-year-old pop superstar adopted David Banda, 18, Mercy James, 18, and her 16-year-old twin girls Stella and Estere from Namibia.

Her children have accompanied her during her globetrotting string of concerts and have even appeared onstage with her as performers.

Now, the Material Girl has posted a wide-ranging Instagram album showing her children rehearsing with her and joining her onstage.

One especially heartwarming picture was of Madonna gathering a few of her children together backstage for a group hug.

'On the day before our 80th show of the Celebration Tour I need to acknowledge my incredibly talented children who carried me through this Journey each of them bringing their own unique talent to the stage,' she wrote.

'Rehearsals began over a year ago with almost a 2 month break waiting for me recover from a near death experience. They never stopped practicing… they never stopped cheering me on and supporting me,' she recalled.

Madonna has repeatedly credited her children for seeing her through her shocking health crisis last year, when she underwent a stint in the ICU and nearly lost her life to what her manager called a 'serious bacterial infection.'

'There enthusiasm kept me Going!!!' she wrote of her children. 'They were also going to school and rehearsing every night. !! . am so very proud of all of them.'

Madonna gushed: 'I think what my children learned the most this year of rehearsing and performing is that if you who to follow your dreams, you have to work hard for them. And if all of them choose something different later in life, they will never forget this year of blood, sweat, and tears. Nor will I. It’s a CELEBRATION!'

Along with the four younger children she adopted from Malawi, Madonna also has two older children whom she welcomed biologically.

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.

Her current tour kicked off at the 02 Arena in London this past October after being postponed because of her shocking ICU stay in June.

In November, during 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. 

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 in November, 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.'
