Pop icon, Madonna, was on Saturday hospitalized and required a stay in the intensive care unit, ICU, after developing a “serious” infection.
Madonna was said to have developed a serious bacterial infection last Saturday.
According to her manager, Guy Oseary, the 64-year-old “Like a Virgin” singer has also postponed her Celebration World Tour and would be rescheduled.
Madonna had in the past canceled a string of shows on her last tour in 2019, due to a knee injury. The tour also ended early.
However, Oseary further disclosed that Madonna’s health is improving while she is still under medical care.
“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead (sic) to a several day stay in the ICU.
“Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected,” Oseary wrote on Instagram Wednesday, June 28, 2023.
The pop star has had a string of health incidents in past years, including horseback riding accidents in 2005 and 2009.
In 2020, she announced she would be undergoing regenerative treatment for missing cartilage, several months after she abruptly canceled a performance in Lisbon, saying she had “to listen to my body and rest.”
