Madonna ‘weak, very tired’ as tour hangs in balance: report

Madonna 'weak and very tired' as tour hangs in balance: report

Madonna is reportedly not recovering as quickly as expected after being hospitalized for a bacterial infection last week.

The 64-year-old “Express Yourself” singer is still “weak and very tired” and spending lots of time in bed, sources close to Madonna claimed to TMZ on Wednesday.

This comes as the originally scheduled start date for her “Celebration” tour looms closer.

Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, announced the tour would be paused due to her health scare, but added that the “Like a Prayer” icon was expected to make a “full recovery.”

But with 10 days until Madonna was originally supposed to kick off the tour in Vancouver on July 15, a new start date or official health update has yet to be released.

A check of the Ticketmaster site by The Post Wednesday evening showed the first available tour ticket was now for Tuesday, July 18, in Seattle.

The Material Girl hasn’t spoken about the tour with anyone around her since she’s been recovering, according to TMZ’s sources.

The Post has contacted representatives for Madonna for comment.

Over the weekend, her longtime friend Rosie O’Donnell assured fans that the pop star is “good” as fans bombarded her with questions on Instagram.

“She is recovering at home — she is very strong in general,” O’Donnell replied to one follower.

“God bless her hope she’s ok, I don’t care about the tour,” another Instagram user wrote, to which the former talk show host responded, “She’s good.”

It was previously reported that Madonna was still severely ill and bedridden since being released from an unidentified hospital.

Madge reportedly had a monthlong fever leading up to her being found unresponsive at her NYC home and intubated in an intensive care unit last week.

The singer’s oldest daughter, Lordes Leon, 26, was reportedly by Madonna’s side bedside throughout the ordeal.

Madonna allegedly insisted on rehearsing for 12-plus hours a day and “burnt herself out” to compete with younger acts like Taylor Swift.

She was also working alongside dancers who were “a fraction of her age.”

Madonna has not personally addressed her health situation, and it’s still unknown what kind of bacterial infection she experienced.

Nevertheless, Madonna’s sons, Rocco Ritchie, 22, and David Banda, 17, have been rallying around their ailing mom, as they’ve both been spotted coming and going from her NYC apartment.
