It continued: "We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows."

Madonna is thought to have been rushed to hospital after battling a low-grade fever for a month before her "body could no longer take it", leading to the medical intervention.

She allegedly powered on through her symptoms as she was too busy rehearsing for her upcoming tour.

TMZ added that doctors confirmed her unreported fever worsened because it was left untreated, promoting the serious medical scare.

Following the news about her stay in the ICU, celebrities including Michelle Visage, Rita Wilson and Rosanna Arquette wrote messages wishing Madonna a speedy recovery.
