Rosie O’Donnell shared an update on her longtime friend Madonna after the Queen of Pop was hospitalized due to a bacterial infection.

The comedian took to Instagram to share a throwback photo of the duo starring in the 1992 sports comedy movie, "A League of Their Own." 

“Remember when? #league #mo,” O’Donnell captioned the post and took to the comments to answer some fans who were looking for an update on Madge’s health.

“She is recovering at home – she is very strong in general,” O’Donnell told to a fan. 

Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, revealed on Instagram earlier in the week that Madonna spent a few days in the ICU after she developed a serious bacterial infection on June 24. 

The pop icon, 64, was found unresponsive and rushed to a New York City hospital. She was intubated for at least one night before having the tube removed.

“Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care,” Oseary wrote. “A full recovery is expected.”  

It is not clear what initially caused the bacterial infection, but doctors say it became extremely serious and required treatment in intensive care.

The hospitalization has forced the acclaimed singer to put her massive, career-spanning Celebration tour on pause for the time being. 

“At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour,” Oseary wrote in his post. “We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”

On June 28, the pop icon has been discharged from the hospital and transported to her New York City home.
