Madonna is ready to get the show down the road. After spending several days in the ICU battling a “serious bacterial infection,” Madonna was unfortunately forced to pause her career-spanning Celebration Tour. 

On Tuesday, Live Nation announced a slew of rescheduled dates for the North American leg of the Queen of Pop’s tour. 

The Celebration tour will now kick off in London on 14 October, three months after it was originally due to begin in Vancouver, Canada. Most of the US dates have been pushed back to 2024, with some cancellations.

The tour was originally planned to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Madonna's breakout single, Holiday. Dubbed the Celebration Tour, it marks her return to arenas and stadiums after the experimental, theatre-based Madame X shows in 2019 and 2020.

Some of those performances were also postponed or canceled due to the star's knee and hip injuries, as well as the Coronavirus pandemic.

Madonna announced the Celebration tour in January and entered rehearsals in April.

However, just weeks before the opening night, her manager broke the news that she was being treated in hospital for a "serious" bacterial infection.

In a message to fans last month, the star said she was "lucky to be alive" and thanked her family for their support.

"When the chips were down my children really showed up for me. It made all the difference," she wrote.

"Love from family and friends is the best medicine. One month out of the hospital and I can reflect."

With the star now on the mend, the tour can now begin, with the European leg going ahead as planned.

The Celebration Tour will now officially kick off with four sold-out shows in London beginning Oct. 14, followed by shows across Belgium, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands throughout the remainder of 2023. 

The North American leg will commence on Dec. 13 in Brooklyn at Barclays Center, followed by shows in Boston, Seattle, Chicago, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Due to scheduling conflicts, a number of previously announced shows have been canceled, including Tulsa (July 27), Nashville (Dec. 22), San Francisco (Jan. 15), Las Vegas (Jan. 18), and Phoenix (Jan. 20).
