Madonna's ICU stay was first announced by her longtime manager, Guy Oseary.
"On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which lead (sic) to a several day stay in the ICU," Oseary wrote Wednesday on Instagram.
"Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected."
Oseary also announced Madonna's upcoming tour would be rescheduled:
"At the time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour. We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and the rescheduled shows."
The "Vogue" singer planned to launch her Celebration World Tour in July, which also marked her 40-year anniversary in the entertainment industry.

Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel said a number of different issues could cause concern and prompt immediate attention.
"Most commonly, I would be concerned about the possibility of pneumonia or a urinary infection that spread to the blood and the lungs," he told Fox News Digital.
"A stay in the ICU is very serious, and it shows that someone was in a life-threatening situation. If they get out of the ICU, it’s very optimistic that they’re then going to recover."
