Pop icon Madonna, 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 — and she is now alert and recovering.

The “Material Girl” singer's daughter Lourdes Leon was by her side throughout the ordeal.

Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, shared Wednesday on Instagram that she had “developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.”

A source tells Page Six the Queen of Pop is now “out of the ICU,” Oseary explained in his post, “She is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.”

Earlier this year, the “Express Yourself” performer announced she would launch her “Celebration” tour in honor of the 40th anniversary of her music career.

The 84-date global trek was expected to kick off July 15 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, however, Oseary’s Instagram post revealed it has been postponed in light of the health scare.

“We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows,” he added.

The Grammy winner’s tour had been set to make its way across the pond to Europe on October 14 before returning to North America on December 13 and running through January 30, 2024.

Madonna promised to perform her greatest hits from her 1983 self-titled debut through her 2019 album, “Madame X”.

“I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for,” she told the outlet back in January.

Madonna last toured from September 2019 to March 2020 in support of “Madame X”. Her Sticky & Sweet Tour, which ran from August 2008 to September 2009, remains the highest-grossing trek ever by a female artist.
