The Celebration tour was due to begin in Canada in two weeks’ time, before visiting 45 cities across the world.
It was due to be her 12th tour, marking 40 years of involvement in the music industry.
Madonna’s management team reportedly held a crisis meeting on Zoom last Sunday, 25 June, amid fears that she might not have survived the bacterial infection after she was rushed to the hospital.
According to MailOnline, the group ā many of whom had worked with Madonna for several decades ā were upset at learning that she was found unconscious in New York on Saturday and taken to the ICU, where she was intubated overnight.
It was gathered that they took the difficult decision to postpone her highly-anticipated 40th anniversary tour and shortly afterwards the plans were put in motion.
Details of whether the tour will still go ahead are yet to be announced, with Oseary saying: “At this time we need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.
“We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”
It’s not clear what initially caused Madonna’s bacteria infection, but doctors say it became extremely serious and required treatment in intensive care.
