“At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour. 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’s Celebration tour was scheduled to start in July, starting in Canada. The tour was then due to play multiple nights in London in October and December, as well as dates across Europe and North America.
This is not the first time the star has cancelled shows due to illness. She also cancelled tour dates in 2019 and 2020.
After experiencing “overwhelming pain”, pop icon Madonna told fans that she was cancelling three tour dates in Boston according to doctor’s orders.
She wrote on Instagram: “Please forgive this unexpected turn of events. Doing my show every night brings me so much joy and to cancel is a kind of punishment for me but the pain I’m in right now is overwhelming and I must rest and follow doctors’ orders so I can come back stronger and better and continue the Madame X journey with all of you.”
In 2020 she made another cancellation during her Madame X tour telling Lisbon fans the show would not go ahead mere hours before she was due to take the stage leaving many disappointed fans filling the streets. While she never revealed what her illness was, by March of that same year, the rest of her tour was cancelled due to concerns over the impending coronavirus pandemic.
