Madonna has updated fans on her health and tour date plans after her stay in intensive care. The music superstar said she will focus on her “health and getting stronger” and apologised for disappointing those hoping to see her upcoming shows.
The 64-year-old was about to embark on her Celebration Tour of North America and Europe, due to kick off in Canada in July. Those dates have now been put on hold after she developed a "serious bacterial infection".
She announced on Monday (July 10) that some performances will now be rescheduled as she recovers at home. She said her children were her "first thought" when she woke up in hospital after being found unconscious at home.

In an Instagram post, Madonna said: “Thank you for your positive energy, prayers and words of healing and encouragement. I have felt your love.
“I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life. My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. 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."
She added: "My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I assure you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can.
“The current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe. I couldn’t be more grateful for your care and support. Love, M.”
