Global News
Madonna said she will reschedule the North American leg of her Celebration Tour, which will now begin in London, U.K. in October 2023.
Madonna will reschedule the North American leg of her upcoming world tour as a result of her recent hospitalization.
The superstar wrote in a social media post Monday that she is “on the road to recovery” but must focus on her health in order to heal.
In June, Madonna, 64, was hospitalized with a serious bacterial infection that landed her in the intensive care unit. Now, she plans to reschedule 41 concerts in the U.S. and Canada that were part of her international Celebration Tour.
“Thank you for your positive energy,” Madonna wrote, adding that she has “felt the love” from her fans.
“My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children,” she continued. “My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.”
Madonna assured her fans she will be back in the spotlight “as soon as I can!”
The Grammy-winning artist shared the statement alongside a selfie.
