Madonna: 'The Celebration Tour' Era

[wavey.]

Ion like that. Praying for her forreal.

[Ling-Ling]

Fingers crossed she's okay. The hospitalization/infection has been confirmed through her manager obviously. But let's remember that Page Six is a total rag, so I'm gonna take their version with a grain of salt for now.

[nightshade]

what the heck??? Is she really intubated? that's crazy. wishing her the best.

[Deleted]

Possibly found unresponsive...?
Bacterial infection, eh?

[Ivy Leegue™]

Ugh. Wishing her a speedy recovery. If she has to cancel the tour, that would make two cancelled tours for me this year (Gorillaz was the first).

[🇯🇲 dollybaby 🇯🇲]

I'm honestly shocked by this. Never dreamed I would ever read "rushed to the hospital" and "found unresponsive" concerning Madonna. She feels so eternal like nothing this bad ever happens to her.

[HolidayGuy]

Get well, M. Was stunned to see this news.

[KeepDeanWeird]

Like Cher, I’d guess most of the world views M as invincible. Just a sobering reminder that’s she’s human. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

The fact they managed to keep this under wraps for 5 days (Sat - Wed) is quite remarkable. Honestly, I’m glad we’re hearing about it after the fact.

[think pink.]

Protect Madonna at all costs. I cannot even deal with the thought of her not being here.

[jumpb4uthink]

Speedy recovery. Man, I hope she recovers fast. Her health is way more important than the tour.

Right?? Madonna is a legend and an INSTITUTION. At least she is headed towards a full recovery, per Guy.

^Indeed. Am sure you'll enjoy Belinda. have you see her prior? I interviewed her several years back, though didn't catch her show. She was nice. And she seems to be supportive of Madonna.

Am hoping to se (and interview) Sheena Easton, as she's finally playing the area this summer. :)

WAIT a minute!
Is Sheena on tour??!!!! Da fuck! I’ve never had the chance of seeing her live at all and she’s in my pending list. I wouldn’t miss her! I’ll forever regret not seen Olivia Newton John when I was in Vegas, but my partner wasn’t that enthusiastic about seeing her
I’m gonna look Sheena up for sure!!
I did see Belinda live a few year ago but would see her again too

I hope she’s ok.

[Night Senses]

I am wishing and hoping for a speedy recovery for Madge. I stopped what I was doing when I heard the news. I don’t trust Page Six to have all the accurate details, but knowing it’s confirmed she’s stable and out of the hospital is comforting, at the very least. Her health is top priority at this point and if changes need to be made to this tour, in order to ensure that nothing rigorous is explored, then I am all for it. I’m going for the hits and the experience of being in the same arena with her. And I’ll be ready when/if she’s ready.

Now, I have a question. Since “The Look of Love” was released as a single in certain markets, did it have an accompanying music video with a concept? Any details on whether there was supposed to be one and it just didn’t happen? Open to any info on that period of time regarding the single. I can only find a video labeled official with clips from Who’s That Girl, so the easy answer is that’s all there is. But with a storied career like Madonna’s and Easter eggs that only die hards know, it doesn’t hurt to dig for more info. The single cover is gorgeous and I always assumed it was taken from the music video, before I saw the one with movie clips.

Just saw a 10 minute segment on CNN.

Afaik, the only music video The Look of Love is montage of scenes from Who's That Girl movie.

Madonna’s health scare should justify more love for her after recent mockery

By Chuck Arnold
June 28, 2023 7:37pm

At 64, we can no longer take Madonna for granted, folks.

Madonna sang that she’ll “Die Another Day” on her 2002 Bond theme accompanying the film of the same name.

But it was more of a cheeky quip than any real acceptance of her own mortality. Back then and even two decades later, the indomitable diva seemingly felt as if she would outlive us all — and we did too.

However, that collective gasp heard ’round the world late Wednesday afternoon — when we all found out that Madonna had been rushed to the hospital after being found unresponsive — was a wake-up call.

According to an Instagram statement from her longtime manager, Guy Oseary, Madonna had “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.” She was reportedly intubated for at least a night, but on Wednesday she was awake and recovering with the tube removed.

Time to rethink all those jokes about her plastic surgery, her age-inappropriate outfits and her bizarre Instagram filters.

We should all be glad that Madonna is still here — and, in fact, was preparing for her “Celebration” tour, set to kick off July 15, that would commemorate her 40-year career. (Oseary says that she will have to “pause all commitments.”)

Indeed, her self-titled debut — the one with “Borderline,” “Lucky Star” and “Holiday” that I just gave its annual Pride Sunday spin — was released four decades ago, on July 27, 1983.

And ever since then, as she has delivered hit after hit in decade after decade, it has been impossible to imagine a world without Madonna.

But yet, we mocked her — one of the biggest game-changing, rule-breaking forces in the history of pop music.

I found out about Madonna’s hospitalization after I had been watching “Wham! The Documentary,”which premieres on Netflix July 5. And I was once again struck by how the Queen of Pop is the last survivor of the great ’80s pop superstars.

George Michael, Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney Houston — they’re all gone. And none of them even made it to 60.

And while Tina Turner was much older than Madonna when she passed away at 83 last month, a part of those same ’80s glory days died with her, too.

So whatever happens next for Madonna — and, thankfully, she is expected to make a full recovery — let’s make sure to give her her flowers while she can still smell them … and while she can still crush them in spike-heeled dominatrix boots if she damn well pleases.

Luckily I’m in a position where I can take off whenever I want. My flight to Denver was only $200, so whenever the show is rescheduled, I WILL BE THERE cuz I’ve got 7th row baby!! I can wait.

More details shared here...and how David, Rocco, and Lola rushed to be by her side.

[think pink.]

I’m not liking these headlines at all. I don’t like this energy out there surrounding Madonna. Now she’s apparently bed ridden and throwing up like crazy.
