NEW YORK CITY, NY – Renowned American singer, songwriter, and actress Madonna has been forced to postpone her highly-anticipated ‘Celebration’ tour due to a serious health scare. The 64-year-old artist recently landed in the intensive care unit as a result of a bacterial infection. However, there is some good news as she is now out of the ICU and on the road to recovery, according to a source close to Yahoo Entertainment.
Madonna’s long-time manager, Guy Oseary, took to social media on Wednesday to release a statement providing details about the health scare. He revealed that the iconic performer had developed a serious bacterial infection, which led to her extended stay in the ICU.
“On Saturday, June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several-day stay in the ICU,” Oseary wrote. “Her health is improving; however, she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected. At this time, we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour. We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”
Madonna was reportedly found unresponsive on Saturday and quickly transported to a hospital in New York City. Sources claimed that she had been intubated for at least one night before the tube was removed, and she is currently awake and recuperating.
The ‘Celebration’ tour, which was highly anticipated by fans worldwide, will now be rescheduled to accommodate Madonna’s recovery process.
