She's expected to make a full recovery though isn't she. Sounds very nasty though.

booktokbear · 28/06/2023 21:54

We hear the “Material Girl” singer, 64, was intubated for at least one night before having the tube removed — and she is now alert and recovering.

the80sweregreat · 28/06/2023 22:01

I wish her well , but it sounds as if she'll be back on her feet soon.

Serious bacterial- wonder if it is something like meningitis or mrsa

the80sweregreat · 28/06/2023 22:25

She was ill on Saturday,
It sounds as if she'll be alright
She is only 64 and healthy usually.
I'm sure she'll be ok

Mine too I really love her and have tickets to her show.
I really hope she's back on her feet soon.

balzamico · 28/06/2023 22:50

A how Mike to take a guess whether we'll see her in October?

balzamico · 28/06/2023 22:51

So sorry

Anyone like to take a guess

It should have said

(Shouldn't post after alcohol)

Wakemeup123 · 28/06/2023 23:23

I'm a huge fan. Felt sick seeing that headline. I think she'll be on the road in a matter of weeks. She's a tough ol' bird!

I'm seeing in her Europe and the UK, I have friends going to the US leg and feel for them but the most important part is that she gets herself well.

PurpleFar · 28/06/2023 23:27

I've only just stopped shaking and I'm trying to relax after seeing this. I'm a massive fan. I hope she gets better soon, and I hope her kids are OK, and her dad. He's 92 and already had some bad news this year about his first born son :(

HerRoyalNotness · 28/06/2023 23:30

I have tickets for September, taking DD. Haven’t seen her in concert before, tickets were affordable for this one. When her songs come on I ask DD if she likes it, she says no 😆

redhaire · 29/06/2023 08:05

newspapers this morning seem to be implying it might have been something else which left her unresponsive: comments quoting family members worried she's not been living a healthy lifestyle for
someone her age" amongst others

I was surprised by the not living a healthy lifestyle thing too. Madonna has always been a total health nut! Perhaps they mean she's been pushing herself too hard in the fitness department.

redhaire · 29/06/2023 08:24

I adore her. Massive fan and have seen her in concert several times. Her photo/video feeds on socials have been somewhat erratic in recent years. I hope she's ok. I adore her.

Get well soon, Madonna!

Bless you Grin

Notanotherhousepost · 29/06/2023 08:41

I used to be a massive fan but not for the last few years. She seems to have morphed into a different person

Wakemeup123 · 29/06/2023 08:53

I think some of the media reports are a tad dramatic.

Rosie has posted on Instagram thats she's feeling good! Positive signs.

I do agree with the erratic comments of the last few years, shes been showing dope smoking the last few years too and appears to drink more alcohol than she ever did.

Shes still fitter than anyone I know though!

I'm a lifelong fan, I don't think I'll ever stop loving her and I'm excited for the tour!

Vintagecreamandcottagepie · 29/06/2023 08:58

Is the pressure of the tour getting to her?

That is alot for a 64 year old, both mentally and physically. She must know it will be subpar compared to her previous tours.

redhaire · 29/06/2023 09:13

I saw her at the palladium in 2020
and even with a hip injury she put on an
amazing show. She's not the Queen of Pop without reason!

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 29/06/2023 09:26

My first thought was (bacterial) pneumonia, but that’s maybe because I had it myself (followed immediately by pleurisy) not long ago. Nearly 3 weeks in hospital, drain in lung, and very weak and wobbly for a while afterwards.

Can take ages to recover properly from.

the80sweregreat · 29/06/2023 09:46

I assumed she was a health freak with personal trainers on speed dial and eating well
She used to be like this.
I Hope she will be ok.

Sunglassescase · 29/06/2023 09:49

I can't get over performers of that age doing 84 dates! I'm younger than her and couldn't do two nights running! hope she's ok

Only one poster is not being naive in this thread.
