Madonna, the pop icon, has been rushed to a hospital in New York City after being found unresponsive. The 64-year-old singer was discovered on Saturday and subsequently taken to the ICU, where she was intubated overnight.
According to Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, who shared the update on Instagram, she had developed a serious bacterial infection that required a several-day stay in the ICU.
Fortunately, the “Vogue” crooner is now believed to be out of the intensive care unit and recovering in a regular ward at the hospital. Throughout this ordeal, Madonna’s oldest daughter, Lordes Leon, has reportedly been by her side, providing support.
Due to the health crisis, Madonna’s highly-anticipated “Celebration” tour, scheduled to begin in Canada in less than three weeks, has been postponed.
“She is out of the ICU now and recovering,” a source told People.
On Wednesday, Guy Oseary took to Instagram once again to announce that the 64-year-old “Material Girl” singer is now in the process of recovering after her stint in the ICU.
“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.”
“At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour,” the statement continued. Madonna was preparing to kick off her Celebration World Tour next month, commemorating the 40-year anniversary of her career.
“We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”
