Why was Madonna hospitalised?
Madonna‘s manager, Guy Oseary, confirmed a health scare Madonna experienced on June 24. She said that the pop singer contracted a serious bacterial infection, which led to her being hospitalised for several days in the intensive care unit (ICU). She added that despite a little improvement in her health, she will remain under medical care until she gets fully recovered.
Owing to this, her concerts were halted for a brief period of time. While fans eagerly anticipate the rescheduled shows and the opportunity to witness Madonna’s captivating performances, the specifics of the tour’s setlist remain a mystery.
