Post Reply New Topic

Madonna is bedridden and still ill with a bacterial infection after leaving the hospital earlier this week, according to a new report.

The pop icon was hospitalized June 24 with a “serious bacterial infection,” her manager confirmed. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care,” manager Guy Oseary wrote on Instagram. “A full recovery is expected.”

The 64-year-old singer reportedly returned to her New York City home early Thursday after spending several days in the ICU following a month of ignoring symptoms as she prepared for her upcoming worldwide tour. She reportedly “collapsed” on Saturday before being rushed to the hospital.

According to TMZ, Madonna has “been vomiting uncontrollably since being discharged from the hospital, and the infection is still wreaking havoc on her body.” A source told the outlet she is is still too sick to get out of bed.

It remains unknown what type of bacterial infection caused Madonna’s illness.

Madonna said she is on the road to recovery in her first message to fans since she was hospitalized in the intensive care unit for a bacterial infection last month.

The singer thanked her fans for their support and shared her first thoughts after waking up in the hospital in a statement she posted on Instagram on Monday. She also posted a selfie with her hair down and looking straight on at the camera.

“My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children,” she said. “My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I didn’t want to disappoint anyone.”

She added: “My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I can assure you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can!”
