Madonna has revealed her thoughts on drugs, and gone topless for Interview Magazine in a surprising encounter with professional box dweller David Blaine.
Shot by high fashion photographers Mert and Marcus in a variety of bondage garb, Madonna also discussed whether drugs were an inspiration with the divisive magician.
Madonna explained to the magazine that she has tried everything once (albeit washed down with a lot of water) and explained the song is about "how people take drugs to connect to God or to a higher level of consciousness."
"I keep saying, 'Plugging into the matrix.'" she tells Interview. "If you get high, you can do that, which is why a lot of people drop acid or do drugs, because they want to get closer to God.
"But there's going to be a short circuit, and that's the illusion of drugs, because they give you the illusion of getting closer to God, but ultimately they kill you. They destroy you. I mean, I tried everything once, but as soon as I was high, I spent my time drinking tons of water to get it out of my system. As soon as I was high, I was obsessed with flushing it out of me. I was like, 'Okay, I'm done now.'"
A new Madonna track was leaked to the internet last week, supposedly titled, 'Rebel Heart'. The new dance meets acoustic track materialised with Madonna singing, "I've spent some time as a narcissist, hearing the others say 'look at you, look at you.' Trying to be so provocative, I said, 'Oh yeah, that was me. All the things I did just to be seen.' "
Madge's manager, Guy Oseary, spoke out on Twitter urging fans to help discover the source of the leak saying: "I would be grateful to any Madonna fans that can assist us in finding those responsible for the leak. We appreciate your help" while her publicist is yet to comment on the matter.
A new abum from the singer is expected in 2015 after working on it for most of this year. It will be her first studio release since 2012's MDNA, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
