It’s almost unbelievable that Madonna is now 66 years old. It feels like just yesterday when the Queen of Pop made her explosive entrance into the world of music, captivating audiences worldwide—and she’s been doing so relentlessly every year since.
Currently, Madonna is in the midst of her highly awaited Celebration Tour, having made a remarkable recovery from a severe bacterial infection that required hospitalization earlier this year.
Recent photos of the Like a Virgin singer have been met with widespread admiration, as the 66-year-old continues to demonstrate that age is nothing but a number—and that her influence in the music world remains as strong as ever.
Fans had every reason to be concerned when news broke earlier this summer that Madonna had been suddenly hospitalized.
Initial reports were concerning, but it quickly became clear that her health scare was even more serious than originally thought.
Madonna had been slated to begin her much-anticipated Celebration Tour on July 15 in Vancouver. The tour was set to span 53 shows across North America and Europe, celebrating her greatest hits from 1983 to the present. However, those plans came to an abrupt halt when she was hospitalized due to a bacterial infection.
Reports initially revealed that Madonna had been found unresponsive on June 24 and was rushed to a New York City hospital, where she was intubated.
A few days later, a relative of the iconic artist shared with Entertainment Tonight that the family had been “preparing for the worst” after the alarming news surfaced. “For the past couple of days, no one really knew which way things would go, and her family was preparing for the worst,” they said.
“That’s why it was kept quiet since Saturday,” they continued. “Everyone thought we might lose her, and that was the reality we were facing.”
Radar Online unveiled startling new details about Madonna’s recent health scare—disclosing that the emergency was far more dire than initially portrayed. Paramedics reportedly had to revive the unresponsive pop icon with a NARCAN injection after finding her at her residence in critical condition.
Thankfully, the Queen of Pop made it through the harrowing ordeal and was discharged to recuperate in the comfort of her home. Now, with her Celebration Tour in full force, Madonna has returned to the spotlight—her resilience as dazzling as her presence. Photos from the tour have ignited admiration across social media, particularly after her triumphant appearance in Paris.
The French capital’s leg of the tour stirred waves of adoration. Enthralled fans praised her timeless allure, some going as far as to crown her the “most beautiful woman in the world.”
One X user gushed,
“How is this woman 65 years old? Tell us everything—your secrets and your filter. QUEEN 👑”
Another chimed in,
“You look like you’re 35. Unbelievable.”
A third admirer declared,
“The most photographed woman ever—and still the most intoxicating, mesmerizing presence alive ❤️🔥”
Even iconic fashion designer Donatella Versace joined the chorus, hailing her longtime friend as “the most beautiful.”
