Madonna fans are rallying around the star after she spent time in intensive care with a bacterial infection, with many saying she should cancel her upcoming Celebration tour so she can recuperate.
The Material Girl’s manager Guy Oseary announced this week that the singer had been in hospital, although reports suggest that she is now back at home.
He said on Instagram that her health was “improving” but that she was still under medical care and that she would need to “pause” all of her commitments, including the tour.
