Pop icon Madonna was hospitalized and required a stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) after developing a “serious” infection, according to her team.
Guy Oseary, the singer’s talent manager, broke the news on Instagram Wednesday.
The 64-year-old “Like a Virgin” singer was rushed to the hospital on Saturday.
“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead to a several day stay in the ICU,” Oseary wrote. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”

“Most commonly, I would be concerned about the possibility of pneumonia or a urinary infection that spread to the blood and the lungs,” he told Fox News Digital.

“A stay in the ICU is very serious, and it shows that someone was in a life-threatening situation. If they get out of the ICU, it’s very optimistic that they’re then going to recover.”
The “Vogue” singer planned to launch her Celebration World Tour in July, which also marked her 40-year anniversary in the entertainment industry.
