Madonna Was ‘Strenuously Rehearsing’ For Tour Ahead Of Health Crisis: She Put In ‘12-Hour Days
Madonna rehearsed for her Celebration Tour at Nassau Coliseum before being hospitalized.
The Uniondale, N.Y. venue, formerly the New York Islanders' home arena, had a private event scheduled over the weekend, so employees weren't surprised when they didn't see her at rehearsals.
The Queen of Pop was found unresponsive and taken to a NYC hospital. She was intubated and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. Since then, she has been extubated and moved to a regular hospital room with her daughter, Lourdes Leon, by her side.
Madonna's manager, Guy Oseary, said on Instagram that she had a serious bacterial infection and stayed in the ICU for several days. Madonna is expected to make a full recovery.
