Madonna’s manager announced last month that she was in an intensive care unit after she had been diagnosed with a “serious bacterial infection,” CNN reported.

“Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected. At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour,” manager Guy Oseary said, according to the Los Angeles Times.

No other details about her health challenge have been released.
