LOS ANGELES (AP) — Madonna has postponed her career-wide Celebration Tour because of what her manager called a “severe bacterial infection” and her ongoing recovery.

Manager Guy Oseary wrote on Instagram on Wednesday that the singer had spent several days in the intensive care unit after becoming ill on Saturday. He added that the 64-year-old singer is expected to make a full recovery.

The tour was due to begin in Vancouver on 15 July.

Oseary wrote, “His health is improving, although he is still under medical care.”

Live Nation cited Oseary’s post as confirming the postponement of the tour.

The Celebration Tour is scheduled to make stops in Detroit, Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Denver, Atlanta and Boston, among other cities, and was scheduled to end its first leg in Las Vegas on October 7. Oseary said details about the rescheduled dates would be shared soon.
