Madonna rushed to hospital ‘after being found unresponsive’ with iconic singer forced to postpone 2023 Celebration tour
MADONNA has been rushed to the ICU after being found unresponsive, forcing the pop star to postpone her highly-anticipated Celebration tour.
The music icon’s manager, Guy Oseary, took to social media on Wednesday to explain that Madonna, 64, stayed in the ICU for several days after a bacterial infection.
“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU,” Oseary wrote in a post on Instagram.
“Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care.”
Oseary continued that Madonna’s team expected a “full recovery,” but would “pause all commitments,” including the Celebration tour.
The manager added that more information and rescheduled tour dates would come for fans soon.
“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,” Oseary said.
Madonna was found unresponsive and then quickly rushed to a New York City hospital on Saturday, Page Six reported.
She was then intubated for an evening and is now conscious, according to what a source told the publication.
The pop star’s daughter, Lourdes Leon, was also said to have been by her mother’s side throughout the health crisis.
Questions surrounding Madonna’s condition remain, and the Material Girl made an ominous post to Instagram just days before her hospitalization.
She included several photos of herself backstage at concerts with somber expressions, captioning the images: “The Calm Before The Storm……….”
Last Wednesday, she also took to her Instagram story to celebrate the elementary school gradations of her 10-year-old twins, Stella and Estere, per Page Six.
“2 Kweens!!!! Happy Graduation!” Madonna exclaimed in the caption.
Pictures included in the story saw the twins holding flowers in blue caps and gowns.
Madonna had only announced the Celebration tour earlier this year, which honored 40 years since she started her music career.
It also included stops in 43 cities spanning the globe and would specifically “pay respect to the city of New York, where her career in music began,” per Variety.
Live Nation produced the Celebration tour and had dates spanning other major cities aside from NYC — including Detroit, Chicago, Miami, and Los Angeles before heading to Europe.
While overseas, Madonna would stop in London, Stockholm, Barcelona, Paris, and more.
Although Vancouver, Canada, was supposed to serve as the tour’s kick-off city on July 15 at Rogers Arena.
She previously detailed her excitement to delve into the entirety of her discography on tour with fans.
“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” she told Page Six after the Celebration tour announcement.
Madonna last toured before the height of the COVID-19 pandemic from September 2019 to March 2020.
