The singer, 64, underwent intubation for at least one night before finally having the tube removed. Thankfully, she is now fully alert and on the road to recovery. It’s heartwarming to know that her daughter, Lourdes Leon, stood by her side throughout this challenging ordeal.
Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, shared on Instagram Wednesday that his client had “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.”

She planned to embark on a global trek, consisting of 84 shows, to celebrate her 40th anniversary in the music industry. The tour was supposed to start on July 15th at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. However, a recent Instagram post by Oseary revealed that the tour has been postponed due to a health scare.
