Madonna Hospitalized: Pop Icon's 'Celebrations' Tour Postponed

The 64-year-old Grammy-winning megastar has asserted incalculable influence over her four-decade long career and is expected to make a full recovery. Madonna, born in 1958, headed to New York in the late 1970s with just 35 dollars in her pocket and scraped a living through modeling, selling donuts, and releasing her first big single, "Everybody" in 1982. She gained international recognition with the release of "Like A Virgin" in 1984, followed by "Material Girl" in 1985. The early 1990s saw her don infamous pointy cone-shaped bras on her Blond Ambition Tour, and she released her racy book called "Sex" to accompany her Erotica album in 1992. She grabbed the showbiz world's attention with Britney Spears in a lingering kiss on stage at that year's MTV Music Video Awards.

She shifted to a dance-flavored beat on her multi award-winning 1998 album "Ray of Light," and still displays her notorious streak. After suffering an injury on her "Madame X" tour, Madonna underwent hip replacement surgery in 2020. Her global, nearly sold-out tour was set to start July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, with dates in the United States, Europe and Mexico. Her manager has vowed to provide more information when available, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.
