“My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. My second thought was that I did not want to disappointment 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 continued.
Prior to the hospitalization, the singer was in rehearsals for her Celebration Tour, which was expected to begin in Canada in around two weeks when she was hospitalized. The tour had since been postponed with Madonna now announcing that she will begin the tour in Europe in October. “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.”
Madonna did not share further details of why she was hospitalized. Along with the statement, Madonna shared a selfie of herself.
