Celebrities and fans have sent well-wishes to Madonna following news that the singer spent several days in intensive care. The 64-year-old US pop star is expected to make a “full recovery” but has had to “pause all commitments” including delaying the start of her forthcoming tour.
She was due to begin Madonna: The Celebration Tour in Canada on July 15, but a statement said a new start date will be announced. Following a post from her manager, Guy Oseary, on Instagram, celebrities including Michelle Visage sent wishes, with the RuPaul’s Drag Race judge writing: “Take good care of our Queen.”
Singer Rita Wilson said she was “sending Madonna my prayers for a speedy recovery”, while actress Rosanna Arquette wrote: “Sending her love and good light vibrations for a good recovery.” A statement from Oseary said: “On Saturday, June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several-day stay in the ICU (intensive care unit).
