Sharjah24 - AFP: According to a statement released on Wednesday by Guy Oseary, Madonna is on the mend after contracting a "serious bacterial infection" that required several days in an intensive care unit.
"Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care," he said. "A full recovery is expected."
Oseary said the 64-year-old pop icon's "Celebrations" tour, due to start July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, was postponed until further notice.
The New York Post's Page Six website said the pop star was taken to a hospital in the city after becoming unwell.
Her global, nearly sold-out tour was billed as paying homage to Madonna's more than four-decade long career, and according to her website boasted 84 concert dates.
Stops in the United States were to include Detroit, Chicago, Miami and New York, the city where her storied rise to superstardom began.
She was then slated to continue in Europe, with dates in London, Barcelona and Paris, as well as four dates in Mexico City.
The Grammy-winning megastar behind classics including "Like a Virgin" has asserted incalculable influence over her stellar career as one of music's top stars.
In his statement on social media, her manager vowed to provide more information when available, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.
In 2020 Madonna underwent hip replacement surgery following an injury sustained on her "Madame X" tour.
