Madonna Postpones Tour After Being Hospitalized for “Serious Bacterial Infection,” Manager Says “Full Recovery Expected”

Madonna is currently expected to recover from a bacterial infection that resulted in a multi-day hospital stay.

Guy Oseary, the singer’s talent manager and producer, confirmed that she had been admitted to an intensive care unit June 24 for treatment of the infection. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected,” he wrote in an Instagram statement. “At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.”

Oseary went on to say that more details will be available when her team has them, “including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”

On Wednesday, a source close to the singer told CNN that she was “out of the ICU and recovering” before the outlet later reported Madonna was “in the clear” and had been transported via a private ambulance to her residence in New York City. A source told People that she was “feeling better” upon her return home.

The Grammy winner was in rehearsals for her latest tour, which was expected to begin in Canada in around two weeks when she was hospitalized. The Celebration Tour was originally announced in January with a video featuring Amy Schumer, Lil Wayne, Kate Berlant, Jack Black, Judd Apatow, Eric Andre, Diplo and more. It paid tribute to her 1991 Blond Ambition World Tour documentary Truth or Dare.

The legendary performer’s tour explores her musical journey across four decades, and was set to kick off in July in Vancouver and end in December in Amsterdam, spanning 35 cities across North America and Europe. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will feature Bob the Drag Queen (Caldwell Tidicue) at all dates.

Back in 2020, Madonna underwent hip replacement surgery nearly a year after she was injured during her Madame X tour, which saw her forced to cancel several North American shows.
