Madonna celebrates 65th birthday following recent health scare

Madonna has marked turning 65 on social media in a series of celebratory posts.

Taking to TikTok on Wednesday, the Material Girl singer shared a risqué video in which she sports a black lace bra and signature corset underneath a silk top.

“Happy Birthday to me!” she captioned the clip.

Another video shared online saw the mum of six enjoying a meal with her friends and family at a restaurant in Lisbon, Portugal, where she lived between 2017 and 2020, on Tuesday night as the clock struck midnight.

Delivering a a short speech to her nearest and dearest, she declared: “It’s great to be alive!”

According to The Portugal News, the performer will remain in Portugal’s coastal capital city until the weekend.

“She landed with about 30 friends from all over the world, on a normal plane because she is an environmentalist, she gave up her private plane a few years ago,” CMTV columnist Adriano Silva Martins revealed.

The posts came a day after announcing the rescheduled dates for The Celebration Tour, following a health battle brought on by a serious bacterial infection.

The music icon was due to start her tour in Canada in July, before she announced a plan to reschedule the North American leg of the tour, following a stay in intensive care.

Live Nation has announced rescheduled dates for the North American shows and says that several of them have been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts.

The European leg of the tour will begin with four dates at The O2 in London, before the singer moves onto Copenhagen, Barcelona and other European cities – ending back in the UK for two more concerts in London.

Madonna will start the North American leg of her tour on December 13 in Brooklyn, New York, before she travels to cities including Boston, Toronto and Miami.

Altogether five North American dates have been cancelled – July 27 in Tulsa, December 22 in Nashville, January 15 in San Francisco, January 18 in Las Vegas, and January 20 in Phoenix.
