According to an exclusive report from Page Six, Madonna, the renowned pop icon, was urgently taken to a hospital in New York City after being found unresponsive. The 64-year-old singer was discovered at a residence on Saturday and subsequently admitted to the ICU. She was intubated overnight due to a serious bacterial infection. Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, shared on Instagram that she had spent several days in the ICU. Thankfully, she has now been moved out of the intensive care unit and is currently recovering in a regular ward at the undisclosed hospital.
Throughout this challenging ordeal, Madonna’s eldest daughter, Lordes Leon, aged 26, has reportedly been by her mother’s side. The exact nature of the bacterial infection Madonna developed remains unknown. It is worth noting that serious bacterial infections cause over 23,000 deaths annually in the United States, as reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Tragically, Madonna’s highly-anticipated “Celebration” tour, scheduled to commence in less than three weeks, has been postponed due to this health crisis. The tour was set to encompass 53 shows across North America and Europe, starting in Vancouver on July 15. Madonna’s manager, Oseary, announced the postponement and stated that further details, including the rescheduled shows and a new tour start date, will be shared in due course.
Madonna had planned to showcase her greatest hits from her eponymous debut album in 1983 to her most recent release, “Madame X” in 2019, during the tour. Just three days before her hospitalization, Madonna took to social media to celebrate her twin daughters’ graduation from elementary school, sharing a photo and expressing her pride.
In May, Madonna spent Mother’s Day in New York City with all six of her children, including Lourdes, Stelle, Estere, Rocco, David Banda, and Mercy. Regarding her current relationship status, it remains unclear. However, back in May, sources revealed that Madonna had formed a close bond with 29-year-old singer Maluma during tour rehearsals.
