At the time of Oseary’s post, he stated Madonna was going to “pause all commitments, which includes the tour,” and said her team would “share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”
Reports by TMZ described Madonna as “weak and very tired” but also said she was spending lots of time resting. The “Celebration” tour was set to commemorate the 64-year-old’s 40th anniversary of her career that would take her to 43 cities across the world through the beginning of next year. Madonna was set to perform over 80 shows across North America and Europe including Chicago, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Barcelona and Paris. According to its announcement in January, the trek was created to “[highlight] her unmatched catalog of music from the past 40-plus years,” while simultaneously “[paying] respect to the city of New York, where her career in music began.”
