Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, has confirmed on Instagram that she was hospitalized for a “serious bacterial infection”.
Consequentially, the post points out that Madonna will be forced to cancel her upcoming tour. Many A-Listers sent their well-wishes to her, either in comments on Oseary’s post or tweets directly to the star. Dr. Natalie Azar told TODAY:
“Typically, admission to the ICU would happen if the doctors are concerned that somebody either is perhaps becoming septic or may have sepsis, which is a potentially life-threatening emergency that can happen when your immune response overreacts to an infection. Bacterial infections are usually the things that will get people the sickest that they can end up in the ICU.”
While it’s currently unclear what exactly is ailing Madonna, we will update this story as developments occur.
