Madonna was rushed to intensive care after her “relentless pursuit for perfection” led to her rehearsing 12 gruelling hours a day for her upcoming world tour, sources claim.
The pop icon, 64, was last night back at home in New York recovering from the severe bacterial infection that led to her being found unresponsive on Saturday and intubated in hospital.
Her family reportedly feared the worst before she was stabilised and did not reveal her ordeal until Wednesday, after she was moved to a private room.
