It’s hard to believe that Madonna is now 65 years old. It seems like just yesterday the Queen of Pop burst onto the scene, captivating millions around the globe with her music and performances. Currently, Madonna is on her highly-anticipated Celebration Tour, having recovered from the severe bacterial infection that left her hospitalized earlier this year.
Recent photos of the “Like a Virgin” singer have garnered widespread praise from her fans, with many admiring how she continues to defy age and remain a significant force in the music industry.
Earlier this summer, fans were rightfully concerned when Madonna was suddenly hospitalized. Initial reports were troubling, but it soon became clear that her health scare was more serious than first thought. The Queen of Pop had been scheduled to start her Celebration Tour in Vancouver on July 15, performing her greatest hits from 1983 to the present in 53 shows across North America and Europe. However, she was forced to postpone the tour after being rushed to the hospital with a bacterial infection.
Reports revealed that Madonna had been found unresponsive on Saturday, June 24, and was subsequently taken to a New York City hospital where she was intubated. Shortly after, a relative of the Grammy-winning artist told Entertainment Tonight that her family had been preparing for the worst. “For the past couple of days, no one really knew which direction this was going to turn, and her family was preparing for the worst,” they said. “That is why it was kept a secret since Saturday,” they added. “Everyone believed that we may lose her, and that has been the reality of the situation.”
Radar Online later revealed that Madonna’s condition was more severe than initially reported. Medics who treated her at her apartment had to administer a NARCAN injection. Fortunately, she was eventually released from the hospital and continued her recovery at home. Her Celebration Tour is now in full swing, with the “Vogue” star receiving widespread praise for her looks after uploading a series of photos from her tour.
The Paris, France leg of Madonna’s tour attracted particular attention, with fans showering her with compliments. One fan even called her “the most beautiful woman in the world.” Another fan wrote on Twitter, “How is this woman sixty-five years old? Please share your secrets with us and your filter. QUEEN 👸👑” A third added, “THE most famous woman ever in front of a lens. Still the most exotic, most beguiling thing I’ve ever seen ❤️🔥” Famous fashion designer Donatella Versace also praised her long-time friend as being “the most beautiful.”
