Madonna has been forced to delay her highly anticipated world tour due to an unforeseen health scare. The "Material Girl" singer was recently admitted to an ICU owing to a severe bacterial infection, <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66049222">BBC News</a> reports. She was said to have spent several days in hospital, yet it is believed that she is on her way to a full recovery. Guy Oseary, the singer's manager, revealed that Madonna was found unconscious before being hurried to a New York City hospital. <img class="size-large wp-image-1263218493" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/06/MadonnaFI-1024x534.png" alt="" width="1024" height="534" />[[imagecaption|| Madonna was said to have spent 'several days' in ICU.

Moreover, her daughter, Lourdes Leon, remained by her side throughout the medical ordeal. Earlier this year, the pop diva unveiled plans for a 35-date global tour, marking her first-ever greatest hits journey. The grand endeavor was aimed at commemorating the 40th anniversary of her chart-topping breakout single, Holiday. However, this unexpected health crisis has momentarily paused these plans. Offering insights on Instagram, Oseary affirmed that Madonna "developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU." While she is out of the ICU now, he added that she continues to be under medical supervision. However, he assured fans that "a full recovery is expected."
