Madonna Postpones Her Tour After Reportedly Being Found Unresponsive

Less than one month before it was set to begin, Madonna’s highly anticipated The Celebration Tour has been put on hold. The news came as a disappointment to fans worldwide, who were eagerly awaiting the chance to see the Queen of Pop perform live. The announcement was made by Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, through a heartfelt Instagram post, where he revealed the reason behind the sudden postponement.

In his post, Oseary disclosed that Madonna had recently spent several days in the hospital battling a “serious bacterial infection.” However, he did not provide any specific details regarding the type of infection or the duration of her hospitalization. Similarly, he chose not to elaborate on the treatment she received during her time in medical care. Page Six reports that she was rushed to the hospital after being found “unresponsive” over the weekend.

Fans need not be concerned about Madonna’s now that she’s reportedly been discharged from the hospital, as Oseary assured fans that her condition was getting better. He stated, “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care,” and added, “A full recovery is expected.” While this news brings a sigh of relief, it also means that Madonna will be unable to resume rehearsals for The Celebration Tour in time to launch the shows as she planned.

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

As of now, there is no specific timeline for the restart of The Celebration Tour. Fans are left eagerly waiting for further updates, hoping to hear news of the rescheduled dates. While the tour is postponed, rather than canceled, Oseary did not mention any provisions for ticket refunds. It appears that ticket holders will have to be patient and wait for the new dates to be announced.

The Celebration Tour was announced in early 2023, and fans were getting excited about the venture. The trek was marketed as something of a, well, celebration of Madonna’s biggest hits. A setlist hadn’t been unveiled, but it was sure to be filled with her most beloved releases, and perhaps with a few deeper cuts thrown in for good measure.
