Madonna was recently spotted going back to her hotel looking tired after an 8-hour rehearsal in Manchester. The singer wore an oversized black and white sweater and loose trousers with a pair of dark shades as she left her hotel.
The tour is set to kick off this week after getting suspended in June due to the pop singer’s health challenge. Now that she has fully recovered, Madonna is putting her all into delivering a memorable performance for her expectant fans. “She returned to rehearsals last Monday. She’s so happy to be back on stage and is feeling strong,” a source said.

The Queen of Pop is starting her first tour in three years at the O2 Arena in London with a four-day run at the venue before moving to the next stop. Unlike the expected routine to practice in the arena a week ahead, Madonna does not have access to the O2 until Friday due to Blink-182’s tour.

The music star rented out Manchester’s AO venue instead for some “intense, last-minute rehearsals,” while staying at Gary Neville’s five-star Stock Exchange hotel in the same city. It is likely that Madonna rented out the entire building for herself and the team.
Madonna is going all out for her tour
The famous material girl is leaving no stone unturned and pulling all the stops to deliver a good show. Earlier this week, she had nine £1,500 Peloton exercise bikes delivered to the hotel to keep fit ahead of the weekend. “Madonna is pulling out all the stops— a huge entourage, whole hotels, major venues for rehearsals for several days— nothing is being left to chance,” a source told The Sun.
She has a lineup of famous guests, including Mick Jagger, Dua Lipa, Pink, and Shania Twain, and is working alongside her longtime collaborators, Jamie King and Stuart Price, to “put the final touches on the show,” and deliver her “most ambitious tour ever.”
