Madonna Breaks Silence After Recent Hospitalization and thanks fans for their support.

She wrote, “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.”

Madonna took a moment to reflect on her initial thoughts after waking up in the hospital following her health scare.

“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.”

Madonna went on to say, “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 Queen of Pop revealed her decision to postpone her world tour until October, with Europe becoming the starting point of the highly anticipated event. Originally planned to kick off in North America, Madonna’s tour itinerary has now been rearranged, giving her European fans the opportunity to see the pop star first.

Madonna faced a serious health situation when she was discovered unresponsive in her New York apartment last month. Guy Oseary, Madonna’s talent manager and producer, disclosed that she had contracted a severe bacterial infection on June 24, which resulted in her spending several days in the ICU. Reports indicate that the renowned singer had to be intubated for at least one night at a New York hospital before having the tube removed, and she remained connected to a ventilator for several days during her recovery.

On a sunny Sunday (July 9), Madonna was sighted in New York, leisurely strolling through the city streets. She opted for a casual look, donning a roomy t-shirt and shorts, complemented by an oversized hat and sunglasses, seemingly aiming to blend into the surroundings. These glimpses suggest that the singer is well on her way to recovery and in significantly improved health!
