Pop Queen Madonna, the legendary American singer, was spotted casually strolling around New York City. She was captured, enjoying a fashion exhibition just hours before her hospitalization. In new images obtained by Mail Online, the 64-year-old artist appeared at ease. She was wearing sweatpants, sneakers, sunglasses, and a baseball cap as she explored the Karl Lagerfeld exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum in Manhattan. Little did anyone know that Madonna’s health would take a sudden turn.
Earlier reports revealed that the pop icon had been battling a low-grade fever for a month prior to her shock hospitalization. Despite her symptoms, Madonna did not seek medical attention as she was primarily focused on her upcoming tour. However, her persisting health struggles forced her to postpone the tour, much to the disappointment of her fans.
Madonna’s medical team and those close to her expressed concern that she may defy doctors’ orders. They feared she might push for an immediate tour start. The outlet also reported that Madonna had been apprehensive about being hospitalized. Especially as she feared it would lead to further delays in her tour schedule.
Known for her relentless pursuit of perfection, Madonna had been rigorously rehearsing for her tour.
She had devoted six days a week to preparation. Her former backup dancer, Jose Xtravaganza, shared insights into the extensive rehearsal schedule. He further emphasized the show’s complexity and attention to detail. With a large dance troupe and elements of martial arts, including boxing, Madonna aimed to create a visually stunning and dynamic experience for her audience.
Sources close to Madonna previously revealed that her perfectionism had been driving everyone involved in the tour to their limits. While her demanding nature may have caused some tension, her dedication to delivering a flawless performance remained unwavering. Madonna’s commitment to her craft and maintaining an exceptional physique were evident. She had practically aimed to make this tour a memorable event.
Guy Oseary, Madonna’s long-time collaborator, confirmed that the singer had been diagnosed with a serious bacterial infection. This would ultimately lead to her hospitalization in the ICU. However, he expressed optimism about her recovery and assured fans that Madonna’s health was improving.
While Madonna has returned home and is reportedly feeling better, it remains uncertain when her highly anticipated 35-city tour will commence. Originally scheduled to kick off on July 15 in Vancouver, the future of the tour hangs in the balance as Madonna focuses on her recovery and listens to medical advice.
