NAIROBI, Kenya, June 29- Madonna’s upcoming Celebration tour has been postponed after the singer was hospitalized with a “serious bacterial infection.
According to an Instagram post from her longtime manager Guy Oseary. The tour was scheduled to kick off in Vancouver on 15 July.
“On Saturday, June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several-day stay in the ICU,” he wrote. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.
“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.”
The 35-city global tour was supposed to be an ambitious retrospective for the 64-year-old singer, celebrating “her unmatched catalogue of music from the past 40-plus years”, according to an announcement.
The tour was set to stop in such US cities as Detroit, Chicago, New York and Los Angeles before an 11-date European leg, eventually wrapping in North America in January 2024.
“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” Madonna said in the tour’s announcement video.
The mother of six last toured from September 2019 to March 2020 following the release of her album, Madame X.
Her Sticky and Sweet Tour, which ran from 2008 to 2009, is the highest-grossing tour ever by a female artist.
