Madonna’s family feared the worst and thought they “may lose her” after the pop legend was found unresponsive in Recent York City on Saturday, based on a report.
A relative of the superstar opened up concerning the gravity of the scary ordeal that resulted in Madonna spending multiple days within the ICU.
“For the past couple of days, nobody really knew which direction this was going to show, and her family was preparing for the worst,” the unidentified member of the family told the Day by day Mail.
Their nerve-wracking fears kept them from disclosing the terrifying episode until Wednesday after Madonna was released from the ICU to an everyday ward on the unnamed hospital within the Big Apple.
“Everyone believed that we may lose her and that has been the truth of the situation,” the relative said.
Madonna’s longtime manager, Guy Oseary, said Wednesday that his client was hospitalized after she “developed a serious bacterial infection.”
Though the sort and explanation for bacterial infection have yet to be revealed, the “Vogue” singer’s family consider it was brought on by her extreme practice schedule.
Her relatives claim she has been pushing herself to the brink ahead of her highly-anticipated “Celebration” tour, including rehearsing six days every week.
Sources near the tour’s production also noticed that Madonna was “strenuously rehearsing” and putting in 12-hour days within the weeks before she fell sick.
The 84-date tour across North America and Europe was set to kick off in lower than three weeks but has since been postponed.
“This really woke her the f–k up,” the family insider told the DailyMail.
“She has not been living as healthy a life as she needs to be for her age, and she or he has been wearing herself thin over the past couple of months.
“She thinks that she continues to be young when, in actual fact, she will not be. She also believes that she is invincible.”
Despite acknowledging that the tour and her intense schedule were responsible, Madonna will not be blissful with the postponement.
The 64-year-old’s family members have banned discussion of her tour from her bedside in an effort to diminish her stress.
“The whole lot, including this tour, is taking a backseat straight away and nobody is allowed to even mention anything work related round her because she is going to lose her s–t”‘ the relative said.
“She is going to put her profession and her fame before her health until the day she is dead.”
The Grammy winner seemed to be in great spirits just days before her health scare.
She posted several behind-the-scenes photos from rehearsals on Instagram last week in an aptly titled caption: “The Calm Before The Storm.”
The “Material Girl” songstress was intubated for a minimum of one night before having the tube removed. She is now alert and recovering.
Oseary said that the Queen of Pop’s health was improving and that she is “expected to make a full recovery,” but didn’t say whether recent tour dates could be unveiled anytime soon.
