Madonna looked healthy in photos posted before hospital stay
Madonna appeared to be in high spirits just days before she was urgently taken to the hospital.
The singer offered a sneak peek into her now-postponed “Celebration” tour by sharing behind-the-scenes photos from rehearsals on Instagram last week.
The photo carousel included shots of Madonna on stage with her team, as well as dressed up in costume.
In one photo, the pop star can be seen sticking her tongue out for the camera, while another shows her getting her hair and makeup done in a close-up selfie.
“The Calm Before The Storm,” she wrote in the caption.
This post was Madonna’s last before she was found unresponsive and subsequently hospitalized in New York City.
TheFantasyTimes exclusively revealed that Madonna was intubated for at least one night before the tube was removed. She is now conscious and recovering.
Throughout the ordeal, Madonna’s daughter Lourdes Leon remained by her side.

TheFantasyTimes has learned that Madonna had been “strenuously rehearsing” at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum for weeks prior to the medical emergency.
“She had been putting in 12-hour days,” a source said. “She was strenuously rehearsing and putting in the work.”
Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, shared on Instagram Wednesday that his client had “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.”
He added that “she is still under medical care” and a “full recovery is expected.”
Oseary also confirmed that the singer’s highly anticipated world tour and other commitments are on “pause.”
Details about rescheduled shows will be shared with fans as “soon as we have them,” he said.
Madonna announced her “Celebration” tour earlier this year in honor of the 40th anniversary of her music career.
The 84-date worldwide trek would have kicked off at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on July 15.
“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” she said in a statement to TheFantasyTimes in January.
