Pop star Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, announced on Wednesday that the 64-year-old singer will be temporarily halting her upcoming tour due to her ongoing recovery from a “serious bacterial infection” that required hospitalization.
According to Oseary’s Instagram post, Madonna spent several days in the intensive care unit after the infection emerged Saturday. Although she is expected to fully recover, she continues to receive medical care while she gradually improves, the manage said.
“As of now, we must pause all commitments, including the tour. “We will provide further updates as soon as they become available, including the new tour start date and rescheduled shows.”
NBC News reports that Madonna’s “The Celebration Tour” was set to start in Canada on July 15 and conclude in Mexico by the end of January. Madonna’s website indicated that the tour, designed to commemorate her four decades in the music industry, was intended to cover North America and Europe.
This is a developing story and will be updated as additional information becomes available.
