Following a concerning stay in intensive care due to a serious bacterial infection, Madonna is thankfully on the mend. Close friend Rosie O'Donnell shared a positive update, confirming that the iconic singer is recovering at home and demonstrating her characteristic strength.
News of Madonna's hospitalization broke last week when her manager, Guy Oseary, announced the unfortunate event and the subsequent postponement of her highly anticipated Celebration World Tour. The news prompted an outpouring of concern from fans worldwide.
O'Donnell, who has been friends with Madonna since they starred together in the 1991 film "A League of Their Own," reassured fans via an Instagram post. Responding to inquiries about Madonna’s health, she stated, "She is recovering at home - she is very strong in general." In response to another concerned fan, O’Donnell added a heart emoji and the simple message, "shes good."
Oseary’s initial announcement indicated that the infection necessitated several days in the ICU. He assured fans that Madonna's health was improving and a full recovery was anticipated. Details regarding the rescheduled tour dates are expected to be released soon.
Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel offered insights on the potential seriousness of such an infection, mentioning pneumonia or a urinary tract infection spreading to the blood and lungs as possible concerns. He emphasized that a stay in the ICU underscores the severity of the situation but expressed optimism given her release from intensive care.
This health scare comes as Madonna was gearing up to celebrate her remarkable 40-year career in the entertainment industry with the Celebration World Tour. This is not the first time Madonna has faced tour disruptions; in 2019, she had to cancel shows on her Madame X Tour due to a knee injury.
Earlier this year, Madonna also experienced the personal loss of her older brother, Anthony Ciccone. As the music icon focuses on her recovery, fans around the globe are sending their best wishes for her continued healing and a triumphant return to the stage.
