At 64, the Queen of Pop, Madonna, still has her spirits for performing on stage as high as ever. The singer has been preparing for her upcoming 84 dates tour called ‘Celebration’ with full vigor. However, in doing so, the La Isla Bonita singer seemingly pushed herself beyond her physical limit as she recently got into ICU after a very strenuous period of rehearsals.

Many close to Madonna have opened up about their worries concerning her health since the health incident took place. Amid this, some even had the idea that she might face the same fate as her contemporary the late Michael Jackson.

There is no question that music tours are extremely exhausting with a lot of strain on the body. Nonetheless, Madonna has not let that discourage her from preparing for a big tour consisting of 84 dates. But unfortunately, she might have pushed her body a bit too much which resulted in a health crisis recently. The Material Girl hitmaker was intubated in ICU for days following the days she was found unresponsive after only hours after she had been practicing at the studio with another pop artist Katy Perry.

 

Only a day before the whole thing took place,  a source close to the 64-year-old singer shared that all the strenuous preparation was being done because she wanted to keep up with her backup dancers half a fraction of her age.

Since then a lot of people close to Madonna have opened up about their worries for the veteran singer. Many can’t seem to shake the idea that the Vogue hitmaker might meet the same fate as the late Michael Jackson who died days before his This is it tour back in 2009. One source shared with The Sun saying,

“Nobody would say it out loud but there were concerns about another Michael Jackson situation if she doesn’t slow down a bit.”
Currently, younger artists such as Taylor Swift and Pink have been giving it all in their respective tours. And according to Madonna’s close friends, this and the constant reminder of her age might have somehow made her push herself more.

Focusing too much on her rehearsals may be the reason, Madonna ended up in the ICU recently. According to reports, the singer had been suffering from a bacterial infection which is believed to be a consequence of an “unreported month-long fever”. In an attempt to keep up with her tour practice, she must have kept it under wraps. This worsened her health and hence a crisis. Luckily, her condition is curable, and would not take much time for the singer to get back to her healthy self again.

Currently, Madonna is reportedly back in her home taking much-required rest but she is as ready for her upcoming tour as before.  The Celebration tour was slated to kick off on July 15, however, given the health crisis, it’s facing a pause at the moment.
