Madonna has announced that a ‘re-routed’ schedule for her Celebration Tour will ‘be coming in the next few days.’
The Like A Prayer singer, 64, was meant to start her tour in Canada on July 15 before her manager Guy Oseary announced that a ‘serious bacterial infection’ had led to the music artist spending several days in the ICU.
Now recovering from her ordeal, the singer said in an Instagram post that the plan was to ‘reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe.’
Issuing her fans with an update on the rescheduling, Madonna posted an Instagram Story, which read: ‘Thank you again for your incredible support and patience over the past few weeks!
‘I’m happy to report that the re-routed tour schedule will be coming in the next few days! See you soon for a well-deserved celebration!!’
Madonna’s Celebration Tour was due to start in North America with stops including Detroit, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.

All dates from August 5 to October 8 are now due to be rescheduled, according to the Madonna website.
Billed as a ‘one-of-a-kind experience’, the tour is set to feature special guest Bob The Drag Queen, real name Caldwell Tidicue, across all dates.
The UK and European leg of the tour is scheduled to begin at London’s O2 Arena on October 14.
It will be Madonna’s first tour since her Madame X shows, which ended in 2020. Some of these performances were called off due to knee and hip injuries.
The music icon recently reflected on her hospital stint, saying she was ‘lucky to be alive.’
