Madonna had to postpone the start of her long-planned “Celebration Tour” through Canada, the USA, Mexico and Europe. The tour should start in Europe in October at the earliest. Madonna said she was “on the mend” shortly following her hospital stay.
“I am now concentrating on my health and getting stronger and I can assure you that I will be with you once more as soon as possible.” When she woke up in the hospital, the first thing she thought regarding was her children thought, wrote Madonna now. The second thought was for their fans. The illness had pulled the superstar out of the tour preparations, which she had kept her fans up to date via social media.
With the “Celebration Tour” Madonna not only wants to celebrate her birthday, but also her 40th career anniversary, because her first album “Madonna” was released in 1983. For the now 65-year-old, 40 career years also mean 40 years in the headlines.
It wasn’t until the beginning of the year that she graced the front page of “Vanity Fair” – apparently still in the best of health and spirits staged as Jesus’ mother Mary. “This is a good time for me right now,” she said in the accompanying interview. “I brainstorm, get inspired, meet creative people, watch movies, see art and listen to music.”
Shortly following, she showed up at the Grammy Awards to announce the performances of fellow musicians Sam Smith and Kim Petras, and her changed appearance sparked controversy. The pictures were taken with a long-lens camera and “would distort everyone’s face,” Madonna then complained via Instagram. “Once once more, she finds herself caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny,” she continued, lamenting “a world that refuses to celebrate women over the age of 45 and feels the need to punish them if they continue.” are determined, hardworking and adventurous”.
Madonna Louise Ciccone was born in Michigan in 1958 into a large family of Italian origin. Her mother died when she was just a little girl. After graduating from school, Madonna went to New York, held various jobs and began to work on a career as a dancer and singer. The recently deceased music manager Seymour Stein discovered her during her first performances and signed her.
The first album “Madonna” was already a success – and laid the foundation for a phenomenal world career: around a dozen more albums, hundreds of millions sold, more success as an actress and countless awards. Many songs by the “Queen of Pop”, always a mixture of melodic pop, dance and electro-eroticism, have long been classics – such as “Material Girl”, “Like a Virgin” or “Like a Prayer”.
Madonna has also made several comebacks over the decades – she seems to dictate the rules of her career completely herself and is considered the first woman to gain complete control over her music and her own image as a pop star.
Even privately, Madonna never let herself be talked into and repeatedly made headlines. She was married twice, first to US actor Sean Penn, then to British director Guy Ritchie, and she has repeatedly appeared in different relationships. In addition to two biological children, Madonna has adopted four children.
First she didn’t want to become a mother for a long time – then she was overwhelmed by the role, the musician recently wrote on Instagram. “I walked half-blind through many years and made many mistakes.” As a mother, she experienced her “highest feelings” and her “deepest downfalls” – but in the meantime she is above all happy and grateful: “My children are all superstars and I am happy that their souls have chosen me as their mother”.
