MADONNA BACK AFTER BREAK(S)

Madonna is "strong again" after breaking nine bones in a horse riding accident last year.

The star fell off her mount at her country home on her birthday last August (05.08.05), cracking a number of ribs, breaking her collarbone and her hand.

Madonna admits the fall left her shaken up and worried she would not be able to perform or dance on stage again.

She said: "2005 was a very tumultuous year.

"Forget about riding a horse again - I didn't know if I was going to be able to dance again."

She added: "When I shot the video for 'Hung Up', none of the bones had gone together.

"Pharmaceuticals and my will got me through the shoot. I felt so much joy just to have my body back and to feel strong again."

The 'Sorry' singer also revealed how she had to stop doing yoga while her shoulder was healing.

She told Harpers Bazaar magazine: "I used to be a freak about doing yoga, but I had to do a lot of Pilates to rehab my shoulder joint and get the use of my arm back.

"My Pilates instructor was a dancer, so my workouts became much more ballet-oriented, rather than the visceral, gymnastic, Ashtanga yoga thing."
