He had “fire”.
Madonna battled a high fever for a full month before being suddenly hospitalized, according to a new report.
The 64-year-old Queen of Pop was suffering from a long, low-grade fever before she was found unresponsive last Saturday, TMZ reported on Thursday.
The source claimed that Madonna ignored her symptoms and never saw a doctor as she laser-focused her upcoming “Celebration” tour, which has since been postponed.
Guy Oseary, the Grammy-winning actor’s longtime manager, announced on Wednesday that his A-list client had developed a “serious bacterial infection”, causing him to stay in the intensive care unit of a New York City hospital for several days.
A source claimed to TMZ that Madonna’s doctors believed the unreported fever was a symptom of an infection that allegedly worsened as she went untreated and pushed herself to the limit.
Although Oseary told fans that Madge is “in good health” and “a full recovery is expected,” TMZ reported that the infection was more serious than released.
According to the outlet, those around the artist are concerned that he won’t take the recommended time to rest and recuperate before returning to the grind, which reiterates our announcement that Madonna “doesn’t want to cancel her tour.”
