Madonna has announced that a "re-routed" schedule for Madonna: The Celebration Tour will "be coming in the next few days".

The star was meant to start the tour in Canada on 15 July before her manager Guy Oseary announced that a "serious bacterial infection" had led to her spending several days in intensive care.

The 64-year-old later said in an Instagram post that the plan was to "reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe".

Issuing her fans with an update on the rescheduling, Madonna posted an Instagram story that read: "Thank you again for your incredible support and patience over the past few weeks!

"I'm happy to report that the re-routed tour schedule will be coming in the next few days!

"See you soon for a well deserved celebration!!"

Madonna's Celebration Tour was due to start in North America with stops including Detroit, Toronto, Chicago, New York, Miami and Los Angeles.

All dates from 5 August to 8 October are now due to be rescheduled, according to the Madonna website.

Billed as a "one-of-a-kind experience", the tour is set to feature special guest Bob The Drag Queen, real name Caldwell Tidicue, across all dates.

It will be Madonna's first tour since her Madame X shows, which ended in 2020.

Some of those performances were called off due to knee and hip injuries.
