Madona is feeling sad!

Breaking her silence over her break-up with British director Guy Ritchie for the first time, Madonna admitted that divorce has left her feeling "sad" but says her heavy workload "provides a distraction" to keep her going. The "Material Girl" star said the split has taken its toll on her - but she copes by keeping busy, the Daily Mail reported. "I'm sad about my personal life, but I feel very blessed and very lucky that I have the opportunity to do what I do in my professional life," Madonna said. The 50-year-old star is currently on her "Sticky & Sweet tour" and her heavy workload "provides a distraction that keeps me going," she said. "It would be horrible if I was just thinking about getting a divorce and had nothing to do." Ritchie is also staying busy filming new movie 'Sherlock Holmes' in London. The singer will keep most of her USD 440 million fortune after Ritchie said he did not want "any of her money". Madonna is currently promoting her documentary "I Am Because We Are", which explores the impoverished African nation of Malawi, where more than one million children are orphaned by AIDS.
