American pop megastar Madonna, 64, has returned home after a few days in intensive care following a “serious bacterial infection” which forced her to postpone her tour of North America and Europe, has indicated Thursday a source close to the artist.
Madonna “feels better”, assured this source without specifying when she was released from the hospital. On Wednesday, her manager Guy Oseary had revealed the “serious” infection contracted last Saturday by the singer and her hospitalization in intensive care, while indicating that her health was in the process of “improving” towards a “full recovery”.
Postponed tour
Oseary announced Wednesday the postponement of the tour “The Celebration Tour” originally scheduled from July to December in North America and Europe, including Paris and London. Madonna’s first concert, to celebrate 40 years of unparalleled career and influence, was to be held on July 15 in Vancouver, western Canada.
The tickets for the 35 dates which were to follow from Vancouver to Las Vegas via all the major cities of North America (Los Angeles, New York, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, etc.) had almost all been sold out in January last.
The “Celebration Tour” was then to cross the Atlantic in October for concerts in London, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and Amsterdam for a final show on December 1st. In Paris, Madonna was to ignite the Accor Arena on November 12 and 13.
