August 5th 2023.
Madonna has issued an update on her upcoming Celebration Tour, which was postponed due to illness earlier this month.
The 64-year-old singer shared an Instagram Story which read: “Thank you again for your incredible support and patience over the past few weeks! I’m happy to report that the re-routed tour schedule will be coming in the next few days! See you soon for a well-deserved celebration!!”
The tour was originally due to start in Canada on July 15th but was postponed when Madonna's manager Guy Oseary announced she had been in the ICU for several days due to a “serious bacterial infection”. The North American leg of the tour is now planned to start in October, with the UK and European leg beginning in London’s O2 Arena on October 14th.
The tour is set to feature special guest Bob The Drag Queen, real name Caldwell Tidicue, across all dates and will be Madonna’s first tour since her Madame X shows, which ended in 2020. Some of these performances were called off due to knee and hip injuries.
Madonna recently reflected on her hospital stay, saying she was “lucky to be alive”. She shared an Instagram post with a picture of her cuddling up to her children David Banda and Lourdes Leon, saying:
“Love from family and friends is the best Medicine. One month out of the hospital and I can reflect. As a Mother you can really get caught up In the needs Of your children and the seemingly endless giving……….. But when the chips were down my children really showed up for me. I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference.”
She went on to thank her manager Guy Oseary for a gift he sent her, a Polaroid taken by Andy Warhol of Keith Haring wearing a jacket with Michael Jackson’s face painted on it.
“I sobbed when I opened this gift because I realized how lucky I am to be alive. And how fortunate I am to have known these people and so many others who are also gone.Thank you [manager] @guyoseary for this gift! And Thank you to all my angels who protected me and let me Stay to finish doing my work!”
The rescheduled dates for Madonna’s Celebration Tour are yet to be announced. Fans can keep an eye on her website and social media for updates.
