Madonna: 'Dancing has taken its toll'

Madonna has spoken of how she has suffered for her art over the years.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the 51-year-old performer admitted she has to sit in a bath of ice and have acupuncture treatment after her concerts.

She said: "My ankles get taped before the shows and I have treatments and physical therapists.

"It's from years and years of abuse, dancing in high heels, which is not great on your knees.

"All dancers have injuries, but we just deal with them. We get acupuncture and therapy - and just keep going."
