Madonna Rushed To ICU After Being Found Unresponsive

64-year-old Madonna has been rushed to the ICU after she was found unresponsive on Saturday in New York City. She was treated overnight and suffered a serious infection that required Madonna to stay in the ICU for several days with her eldest daughter Lordes at her bedside the whole while.

This health crisis comes just as Madonna was gearing up to embark on her Celebration tour, which was supposed to kick off in Vancouver on July 15. In light of her extended hospital stay and ongoing health concerns, however, the shows have been postponed.

Madonna was brought to the ICU to address a “serious” infection

Guy Oseary, Madonna’s longtime manager, gave fans additional information regarding Madonna, in an Instagram post this Wednesday. “On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU,” he outlined. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”

He continued, “At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour. We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”

Support is pouring in

By time of writing, there is no official word on what Madonna was infected with, only that she was intubated in the ICU, meaning medical personnel had to insert a tube, usually into the trachea, traditionally for ventilation – this may imply a serious case of pneumonia, but this has not been confirmed. She is now out of the ICU and is in a regular ward in a hospital that has not been identified. Additional details about the recovery process were also unavailable.

Madonna’s upcoming tour fell on the 40th anniversary of her breakout single, “Holiday.” Her last bout of touring came on the eve of the COVID-19 pandemic, with her Madame X performances running in 2019 and 2020.
