Madonna is still on the mend as the Queen of Pop continues fighting a severe bacterial infection.
A source told TMZ the “Vogue” hitmaker has been feeling weak and very tired and spending most of her time in bed.
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.

The Grammy winner’s Celebration tour has since been postponed due to the medical emergency. It had originally been scheduled to kick off July 15 in Vancouver.
A source close to the tour production previously told Page Six that she had been strenuously rehearsing for up to 12 hours to prepare for the global trek.
A separate source said that the songstress was constantly pushing herself to keep up with her younger dancers
“While she is as good as the people she is working with, many of them are a fraction of her age and without her history of injuries,” one of her friends told the outlet.
“Of course, there are other acts older than her still on the road, but they aren’t dancing and performing like she does.”
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.”
