Amidst the recent health crisis faced by her legendary mother Madonna, Lourdes Leon, the 26-year-old singer and model, is finding solace in maintaining a sense of normalcy.
On Wednesday, Lourdes took to her Instagram Stories to share a snapshot, displaying her resilience and strength in the midst of adversity.
The photo, which reached her extensive following of 475,000, showcased Lourdes in a corset top and blue jeans, with her natural brown hair flowing freely.
To complete her ensemble, she added a waist chain, silver cuff bracelets, and carried a purse slung over her arm. Lourdes also made sure to tag the popular skate shoe and apparel company, Vans, accompanied by a kissing emoji.
Meanwhile, Madonna, who is 64 years old, had recently been admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to what her representative described as a ‘serious bacterial infection.’
Despite the challenging period, Lourdes, whose father is actor Carlos Leon, remained steadfastly by her mother’s side, as reported by Page Six. The news of Madonna’s hospitalization sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry.
Madonna, often referred to as the Material Girl, was discovered unwell on Saturday and promptly admitted to the ICU, where she underwent intubation overnight. Confirming the severity of her condition, Madonna’s manager, Guy Oseary, revealed that she was battling a ‘serious bacterial infection,’ which necessitated an extended stay in the ICU.
Oseary shared this alarming health update via Instagram, also disclosing that Madonna’s highly anticipated Celebration tour, scheduled to kick off on July 15 in Vancouver, Canada, had to be postponed due to her medical condition.
While specific details regarding Madonna’s treatment were not provided, Oseary assured the public that the pop star and mother-of-six is ‘expected to make a full recovery.’ He added that her ‘health is improving,’ although she continues to receive medical care. Recent reports from DailyMail.com indicate that Madonna has since been discharged from the ICU and is in the recovery phase.
In the midst of Madonna’s health battle, her eldest son, Rocco Ritchie, took to social media to share several photos and videos from his motorcycle trip in Transylvania, Romania. Posted on June 26, just two days after Madonna’s hospitalization, Rocco made no mention of his mother’s health issues, simply expressing his excitement about the adventurous journey in a remarkable place.
The specific details regarding the nature of Madonna’s bacterial infection remain undisclosed. However, such infections can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, lungs, brain, and bloodstream.
Madonna’s planned Celebration Tour, the 12th concert tour of her career, was originally scheduled to span from July 15, 2023, to January 30, 2024. This highly anticipated tour was set to visit numerous cities across North America and Europe, with a total of 84 shows expected to captivate audiences worldwide.
Before her hospitalization, Madonna’s last Instagram post on June 20 featured images of her rehearsing for the tour, accompanied by the caption: “The calm before the storm.”
