Madonna has joked about her fall at this year's BRIT Awards, claiming that her last world tour was more painful than the tumble on live television.

Falling down a set of stairs backwards during a performance of her new single 'Living For Love' at London's O2 Arena, Madonna set social media on fire with her trip, but insists that it was nothing compared to the rough and tumble of her 'MDNA' tour back in 2012.
Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, the Queen of Pop explained: "It was pretty dangerous. I got punched a lot. What's a little fall off the stage compared to my last tour? Seriously. I got punched all the time."
Meanwhile, Madonna had already spoken out about the fall, claiming she wasn't seriously hurt because she knows how to land a fall safely, and because a "guardian angel" was keeping an eye on her.
"I have core strength, and I know that saved me. That and my guardian angels. I believe that there's the physical world and the metaphysical world and I do believe that they are intertwined - as above, so below. So I think both were at work in the protection of me."
She went on to say that because her heart was beating so fast, she didn't even have time to stop and think about the incident at the time: "I just remember falling backward, and I hit the back of my head. But I had so much adrenaline pumping, and I was so taken by surprise that I just was, OK, I have to keep going. So I just got back onstage and I just kept going."
