According to a report by Page Six, pop icon Madonna was rushed to a hospital in New York City on Saturday after being found unresponsive at her home.
On Wednesday, Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, shared a statement on Instagram, revealing that the 64-year-old artist had been hospitalized for several days due to a “severe bacterial infection”.
The statement read, “On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU. Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”
“Due to these unforeseen circumstances, all current commitments, including the highly anticipated tour, will need to be postponed.”
“We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows,” Oseary added.
Page Six reported:
We hear the “Material Girl” singer, 64, was intubated for at least one night before having the tube removed — and she is now alert and recovering.
We’re also told that her daughter Lourdes Leon was by her side throughout the ordeal.
While a source tells us the Queen of Pop is now “out of the ICU,” Oseary explained in his post, “She is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”
Earlier this year, Madonna announced she would launch her “Celebration” tour in honor of the 40th anniversary of her music career.
The 84-date global trek was expected to kick off July 15 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, but Oseary’s Instagram post revealed it has been postponed in light of the health scare.
Despite the information that has been made public regarding Madonna’s health, there is ongoing speculation among many. The pop singer has garnered notoriety for various reasons, including her stance on the experimental mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
