US pop megastar Madonna, 64, contracted a ‘serious bacterial infection’ last weekend which landed her in intensive care and forced her to postpone her new North America and Europe tour which was due start in mid-July, his agent revealed on Wednesday.
“Her health is improving, but she remains under medical care” and “we are awaiting a full recovery,” wrote her manager Guy Oseary on her Instagram account, without saying whether Madonna was still in hospital or being treated at home.
“On Saturday June 24, Madonna contracted a serious bacterial infection which led to a several-day stay in the intensive care unit,” Mr. Oseary revealed.
“At the moment we have to suspend all commitments, including the tour”, announced the agent of the world star, promising to communicate “soon” on new dates for the tour The Celebration Tour initially planned from July to December in North America and Europe, including Paris and London.
Madonna’s first concert, to celebrate some 40 years of unparalleled career and influence, was to be held on July 15 in Vancouver, western Canada.
The tickets for the 35 dates that were to follow from Vancouver to Las Vegas via all the major cities of North America had almost all been sold out last January.
The Celebration Tour was then due to cross the Atlantic in October for concerts in London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and Amsterdam for a final show on December 1, 2023.
In Paris, Madonna was to ignite the Accor Arena on November 12 and 13.
“I will enthusiastically explore as many songs as possible in the hope of giving my fans the spectacle they have been waiting for,” she said in January on her site in a video showing her during a meal with celebrities Diplo, Jack Black, Lil Wayne and Bob the Drag Queen.
“The 1980s, 1990s, 2000s; four decades of music “with me” (in French in the text)”, she had launched, raising a cup.
Madonna Louise Ciccone, born in August 1958 in Michigan, to parents of Italian and French-Canadian origins, began her career as a dancer, songwriter and singer in the late 1970s in New York.
She has won seven Grammy Awards including 14 studio albums as well as live records, movie soundtracks, compilations, and more. Her career as a producer, actress and film director has made her one of the most influential artists on the planet for 40 years.
