Breaking News:
Pop icon Madonna was hospitalized and required a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) after developing a “serious” infection, according to her team.
Guy Oseary, the singer’s talent manager, broke the news in an Instagram post on Wednesday. The 64-year-old “Like a Virgin” singer was rushed to the hospital on Saturday.
“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU,” his post read.
“Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected,” the statement added.
Oseary added that her tour will be paused, and he will share news about new concert dates as they are scheduled.
The Queen of Pop was heavily criticized recently after the latest round of plastic surgery that left her face swollen and unrecognizable. She later pushed back on the negative comments by posting a picture of herself posing in a black jacket and ripped jeans with a “Spiritually Hungry” baseball cap perched atop her copper-red braids. “Look how cute I am now that swelling from surgery has gone down. Lol,” she captioned the photo, adding a cry-laughing emoji.
The tweet and photo were her way of responding to what she sees as the rampant ageism and constant criticism on social media that “she should at her age”.
