Madonna to reschedule tour dates after medical emergency
The Queen of Pop is making plans for her highly anticipated return. Madonna has revealed that she will be rescheduling her “Celebration” tour dates, following her recent hospitalization due to a severe bacterial infection. Taking to Twitter on Friday, she expressed her gratitude for the incredible support and patience she has received during the past few weeks. She also announced that the revised tour schedule will be announced in the coming days, promising fans a well-deserved celebration.
Earlier this year, the iconic “Like a Virgin” singer had announced a worldwide tour to commemorate the 40th anniversary of her music career. The 35-city tour was set to begin on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, before heading to various locations in North America, Europe, and concluding in December. Due to overwhelming demand, additional shows were added.
Unfortunately, before Madonna could take the stage, her tour had to be postponed due to her hospitalization for a serious bacterial infection. In June, TheFantasyTimes exclusively reported that she was rushed to a hospital in New York City and required intubation for at least one night. Her longtime manager, Guy Oseary, shared on Instagram that she had developed a severe bacterial infection, leading to a stay in the ICU. However, he assured fans that she was under medical care and expected to make a full recovery.
Sources revealed that Madonna had been diligently rehearsing for her tour for several weeks prior to her hospitalization. Despite the setback, she expressed her gratitude to her six children – Lourdes, Rocco, David, Mercy, and twins Stella and Estere – for their unwavering support during her health scare. She described their love as the best medicine and expressed how their presence and support made a significant difference.
As Madonna continues to recover, she has been seen attending various events. Most recently, she was spotted at Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour stop in New Jersey, accompanied by her daughters Stella, Estere, and Mercy.
The Queen of Pop is planning her comeback.
Madonna has announced that she is rescheduling her “Celebration” tour dates weeks after she was hospitalized for a “serious bacterial infection.”
“Thank you again for your incredible support and patience over these past few weeks!” she tweeted on Friday. “I’m happy to report that the re-routed tour schedule will be coming in the next few days!
“See you soon for a well deserved Celebration!! 🎉🌈🥳💘.”
In January, the “Like a Virgin” singer announced that she would go on a worldwide tour this year in honor of the 40th anniversary of her music career.
The 35-city trek was scheduled to kick off in North America on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada.
After several stops within the US — including New York City, Miami and Los Angeles — the tour was supposed to head to Europe on Oct. 14 before wrapping in December.
Due to high demand in ticket pre-sales, additional shows were added, according to Madonna’s official website.
Before the Grammy winner could even hit the stage, she had to postpone her highly anticipated tour due to an illness.
TheFantasyTimes exclusively reported in June that Madonna was rushed to a New York City hospital and intubated for at least one night before having the tube removed.
The “Vogue” singer’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, said on Instagram at the time that his client had “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.”

Though a source told us at the time that Madonna was now “out of the ICU,” Oseary explained in his post that she was “still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”
A source previously told TheFantasyTimes that the pop star had been “strenuously rehearsing” for weeks for her tour prior to her hospitalization.
“She had been putting in 12-hour days,” a source close to production told us.
A month after her hospitalization, Madonna penned a touching tribute to her six children — Lourdes, 26, Rocco, 22, David, 17, Mercy, 17, and twins Stella and Estere, 10 — thanking them for their support amid her health scare.
“Love from family and friends is the best Medicine,” she captioned the Instagram post. “As a Mother you can really get caught up In the needs Of your children and the seemingly endless giving……….. But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me.
“I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference.”
Madonna has since been seen out and about as she recovers.
Most recently she was spotted at Beyonce’s “Renaissance” tour stop in New Jersey with her daughters Stella, Estere and Mercy.
