Madonna’s representative, Guy Oseary, announced in a statement that the singer is recovering from a “serious bacterial infection” that kept her in the Intensive Care Unit of a hospital for several days. Although her health is improving, she is still under medical care and is expected to make a full recovery.
As a result, Madonna’s “Celebration” tour, scheduled to begin July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, has been postponed until further notice. Oseary mentioned that at this time it is necessary to pause all commitments, including the tour.
According to the tabloid Page Six, the pop star was found “unconscious” and was taken to a hospital in New York. Madonna’s 84-concert tour was intended to celebrate her more than four decades of success on stage.
The tour included performances in Detroit, Chicago, Miami, and New York, where her legend began, before heading to Europe this fall for concerts in London, Barcelona, Berlin, Lisbon, Paris, and four shows in Mexico City.
Madonna, known for hits such as “Like a Virgin,” has been a touchstone for generations of musicians throughout her extensive career. Her representative assured that she will provide more details about the new tour start date and concerts when she has them.
In 2020, Madonna underwent hip replacement surgery due to an injury sustained during her “Madame X” tour.
Madonna’s career began in the 1980s with hits such as “Lucky Star,” “Borderline” and “Holiday.”
Over the years, she has been known for her provocative style and her ability to constantly reinvent herself. Although she has faced criticism and controversy, she has maintained a solid fan base.
Despite her age, Madonna has remained a provocative figure and has left her mark on the music industry. Her latest tour was announced through a video in which she referenced her 1991 documentary, “In Bed With Madonna.” In the video, the Queen of Pop interacts with other celebrities in a set of pajamas, showing her usual bold touch. Madonna expressed her excitement to explore as many songs as possible and give her fans the show they have been waiting for. However, due to her current health situation, details on the rescheduling of the tour will be released at a later date.
