Shortly after news broke that Madonna had to postpone her Celebration tour after coming down with a bacterial infection that resulted in a “several-day stay in the ICU,” the 64-year-old singer’s friend, Rosie O’Donnell, took to Instagram to post an update while celebrating the “Ray of Light” singer. Rosie, 61, shared a throwback photo from The Rosie O’Donnell Show when Madonna stopped by, a pic showing Rosie and Madge engaged in a yoga pose. “She’s feeling good,” wrote Rosie, adding the #madonna and #love hashtags.
Madonna’s manager, Gary Oseary, broke the news of her hospitalization and her upcoming tour – which was supposed to kick off on Jul. 15 in Vancouver, BC – being postponed as she recovers. “On …June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection, which lead to a several-day stay in the ICU,” he wrote. “Her health is improving. However, she is under medical care. A full recovery is expected. At this time, we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.” Oseary added that more details about rescheduled dates would be forthcoming.
