Madonna, the iconic Queen of Pop, faced a month-long struggle with a high temperature before her sudden hospitalization, as per a recent report. TMZ revealed that the 64-year-old singer had been enduring a persistent low-grade fever before she was found unresponsive last Saturday. Despite experiencing these symptoms, Madonna did not seek medical attention as she was focused on preparing for her upcoming “Celebration” tour, which has now been postponed.
A Serious Bacterial Infection
On Wednesday, Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, announced that the renowned artist had contracted a “serious bacterial infection,” resulting in her admission to the intensive care unit of a New York City hospital for several days. According to sources, Madonna’s doctors believe that the unreported fever was an indication of the infection, which worsened due to lack of treatment and her determination to push herself to the limit. Although Oseary assured fans that Madonna’s health is improving and a full recovery is expected, TMZ reported that the infection is more severe than disclosed.
The Road to Recovery
Concerns have been raised about Madonna’s willingness to take the necessary time off to rest and recover before returning to her demanding schedule. It has been reported that she is determined to continue with her tour and may not adhere to the recommended rest period. Page Six previously revealed that the “Vogue” singer had been rigorously rehearsing, putting in 12-hour days at Long Island’s Nassau Coliseum for several weeks before her health eventually gave in.
Immediately after Madonna’s collapse, she was rushed to the hospital where she was intubated and placed in the ICU. After a few days, she was extubated and transferred from the critical care floor to a regular hospital room. Throughout her stay, her 26-year-old daughter, Lourdes Leon, remained by her side. Madonna was discharged on Wednesday night, and her sons, Rocco Ritchie (22) and David Banda (17), were photographed arriving at her Upper East Side residence. CNN reported that Madonna was transported home via a private ambulance, with a police escort seen outside her property, confirming Page Six’s findings.
Madonna’s battle with a prolonged fever and subsequent hospitalization due to a serious bacterial infection has raised concerns about her recovery and her determination to continue with her commitments. Despite her manager’s reassurances, the severity of the infection may be greater than publicly acknowledged. Madonna’s health will undoubtedly be closely monitored in the coming weeks as she navigates the road to recovery and contemplates her future plans.
