Popular singer Madonna is taking time to heal after a health scare and will postpone at least some of her Celebration world tour that had been set to commence next month, CNN reported Wednesday. In a post shared on Instagram, Guy Oseary, Madonna’s longtime manager, shared that the 64-year-old icon “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU” on Saturday. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected,” Oseary added. “At this time we need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour,” he added. “We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour in for rescheduled shows.” Madonna’s next tour, titled the Celebration tour, was scheduled to kick off on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, followed by two dates in Seattle starting on July 18. The tour was to continue throughout the United States and Canada through early October, before heading to Europe.
