Madonna has announced that a “re-routed” schedule for Madonna: The Celebration Tour will “be coming in the next few days”.

The Like A Prayer singer was meant to start her tour in Canada on July 15th before her manager Guy Oseary announced that a “serious bacterial infection” had led to the music artist spending several days in the ICU.

Issuing her fans with an update on the rescheduling, Madonna posted an Instagram story, which read: “Thank you again for your incredible support and patience over the past few weeks!

“I’m happy to report that the re-routed tour schedule will be coming in the next few days!
