Madonna's "Celebration" tour will be rescheduled, the singer has announced - just a few weeks after her serious hospitalization.
The megastar reassured fans that the tour would happen, albeit delayed. She tweeted: "Thank you again for your incredible support and patience over these past few weeks! I'm happy to report that the re-routed tour schedule will be coming in the next few days!"
The tour was initially announced in January and expected to get started on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada. Just under a month prior to the start date, Madonna was rushed to the hospital due "a serious bacterial infection which led to a several-day stay in the ICU," according to her manager.

Previously, Madonna gave fans an update on Instagram. At that time, she wrote: "The current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe."

She gushed about the way her family came together. She wrote: "As a mother, you can really get caught up in the needs of your children. But when the chips were down, my children really showed up for me. I saw a side to them I had never seen before. It made all the difference."
It appears that she has made a speedy recovery and will be ready to dominate the stage again soon. Just a week ago, she posted a dancing video from her home. In the caption, she wrote: "To be able to move my body and dance just a little bit makes me feel like the Luckiest Star in the world!"
