| Madonna is recovering after falling ill with a "serious bacterial infection" that landed her in an intensive care unit for several days, her manager Guy Oseary said in a statement Wednesday.
"Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care," he said. "A full recovery is expected."
Oseary said the 64-year-old pop icon's Madonna: The Celebration Tour, due to start on 15 July in Vancouver, Canada, was postponed until further notice.
The New York Post's Page Six website said the pop star was taken to a hospital in the city after becoming unwell.
Her global, nearly sold-out tour was billed as paying homage to Madonna's more than four-decade-long career, and according to her website, boasted 84 concert dates.
Stops in the United States were to include Detroit, Chicago, Miami and New York, the city where her storied rise to superstardom began.
She was then slated to continue in Europe, with dates in London, Barcelona and Paris, as well as four dates in Mexico City.
In his statement on social media, her manager vowed to provide more information when available, including a new start date for the tour and rescheduled shows.
