Madonna, the global popstar, has postponed her world tour due to a serious bacterial infection that landed her in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital. Her manager, Guy Oseary, stated that although Madonna’s infection was serious, she is expected to make a full recovery. While her health is improving, she remains under medical care. The 64-year-old singer was set to embark on an 84-date tour next month, celebrating the 40th anniversary of her breakout single, “Holiday.”
This Celebration Tour was intended to mark Madonna’s return to arenas and stadiums after her theater-based Madame X shows in 2019 and 2020, some of which were canceled due to knee and hip injuries. The tour was scheduled to start in Vancouver, Canada, on July 15 and conclude in Mexico City on January 30.
Madonna’s greatest hits, spanning several decades, include songs like “Into The Groove,” “Like A Prayer,” “Vogue,” and “Hung Up.” The pop icon has a history of successful tours and is recognized for her financial accomplishments, with Forbes listing her as the 45th richest self-made woman in the US.
Madonna, known for her privacy regarding health matters, was likely in the final stages of rehearsal for the tour. She has a significant following on Instagram, where she recently congratulated her twin 10-year-old daughters on completing elementary school. Earlier this year, her older brother Anthony Ciccone passed away at the age of 66 after struggling with alcoholism and homelessness.
