Madonna Hospitalized For “Serious Bacterial Infection”

People Magazine reports:

Madonna has been hospitalized due to a “serious” infection. On Wednesday, talent manager and producer Guy Oseary announced on Instagram that the “Material Girl” singer, 64, was in the ICU due to the health scare and is now recovering.

“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU,” he wrote. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”

Billboard Magazine reports:

Unfortunately for fans (and the notoriously hard-working icon herself), the hospitalization is forcing Madonna to put her massive, career-spanning tour on pause for the moment.

“At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour,” Oseary wrote. “We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”

The Celebration Tour was set to launch in Vancouver, B.C. on July 15 at the Rogers Arena. According to Billboard Boxscore, the trek — which would boast a set list featuring four decades of hits from a catalog that includes 12 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s and 38 top 10 hits on that chart — was set to net her more than $100 million.

Page Six reports:



Madonna was found unresponsive and rushed to a New York City hospital Saturday, Page Six can exclusively reveal. 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.
