Madonna shared her thoughts upon waking up in the hospital, revealing, "My first thought when I woke up in the hospital was my children. My second thought was that I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour. I also didn't want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone.”

Amid her recovery, Madonna announced plans to kick off her international tour in October. Just a couple of weeks ago that the 64-year-old artist made the difficult decision to postpone her concert series after being rushed to the hospital unexpectedly.
