Madonna’s tour postponed after long days at Coliseum

A week after paramedics found her unresponsive, pop star Madonna is expected to postpone some of her upcoming Celebration Tour. And at least according to some news outlets, Uniondale’s Nassau Coliseum played a major role in some of the latest drama.

Madonna was found in her New York City home on June 24 and rushed to a nearby hospital, where she spent time in the intensive care unit with a bacterial infection. The 64-year-old singer was intubated for at least a day, according to reports, before eventually being moved off of the critical care floor and into a regular hospital room with her daughter, Lourdes Leon, remaining by her side the entire time.

Madonna is home now, but the tour — which was supposed to start July 15 ‘ is on hold. Before her time in the hospital, Madonna had apparently been using the Coliseum as the rehearsal, according to the New York Post’s Page Six, where she had reportedly put in 12-hour days for multiple weeks straight.

Madonna is getting better, according to manager Guy Oseary, and is expected to make a full recovery. However, she remains under professional medical supervision.

As far as rescheduling her tour goes, according to Page Six, Madonna did not want to cancel or postpone it and was “having a blast in rehearsals and wants to get back to it when she’s ready.”

Oseary told fans on social media he would share more details about new dates “as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”
