LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Madonna was recently admitted to a hospital in New York after being found unresponsive on Saturday, June 24. It has been revealed that she was intubated and is dealing with a "serious bacterial infection," necessitating ongoing medical care for her complete recovery.
Interestingly, just a few days prior to her hospitalization, Madonna shared a series of backstage photos on her Instagram account. In these snapshots, the usually vibrant 64-year-old appeared somber and chose not to smile. Accompanying the photos, she captioned them with the words, "The Calm Before The Storm………."
Unfortunately, this health scare has resulted in the postponement of Madonna's highly-anticipated Celebration tour. Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager, took to Instagram to provide an update on her condition. "On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU," Oseary wrote in a post on Instagram. "Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care." Oseary expressed optimism for her "full recovery" but mentioned that all her commitments, including the Celebration tour, would be put on hold.
'Is this the kobe before the storm?'
The internet was filled with sorrow as news of the icon's illness spread, evoking a wave of heartfelt wishes for her swift recovery. One fan tweeted, "God save The Queen!" Another wellwisher shared a heartfelt message that read, "Sending all my love to you Madonna and your family all that matters is that you get yourself better put your self first . The tour can wait till you feel you able to do it all matters is your health us your fans love you no matter what your given us so much over last 40 years." Another referenced her quotes and her sudden illness saying, "The storm is already here." Another questioned if the eerie message the singer shared was infact a fatal news warning referring to Kobe Bryant's death, "is this the kobe before the storm?" "Get Well Madonna We Love You," tweeted a wellwisher. A fan claimed, "Damn, must have been one intense yoga session. Madonna, the queen of reinvention, never fails to surprise us! Get well soon, Madge!" Another added, "Way to give me a near heart attack. Glad she is now recovering. We love you." "Madonna's white blood cells showing up to cancel her bacteria infection," tweeted a user with a gif. "I read about Madonna & my stomach dropped. Regardless of what one thinks about her, she's still a pop icon. She also has children who are still young. All the best to her," read a tweet. A fan added, "She will bounce back cuz that’s what she does best! She is a Survivor! #Madonna"
