Madonna is currently on her much-anticipated Celebration Tour, having recovered from a serious bacterial infection that left her hospitalized earlier this year.

Recent photos of the “Like a Virgin” singer have been met with widespread praise from her fans, as the 65-year-old continues to show that age is just a number and that she remains a powerful force in the music industry.

Fans were understandably concerned earlier this summer when Madonna was suddenly hospitalized. Initial reports were alarming, but it soon became clear that her health scare was even more serious than initially thought. The Queen of Pop had been set to start her highly anticipated Celebration Tour in Vancouver on July 15, which would have featured her greatest hits from 1983 to the present in 53 shows across North America and Europe. However, she was forced to postpone the tour after being rushed to the hospital with a bacterial infection.

Initial reports revealed Madonna had been found unresponsive on Saturday, June 24, and was subsequently to a New York City hospital where she was intubated.

Not long after, a relative of the Grammy winning artist told Entertainment Tonight that her family had been “preparing for the worst” after the news first broke. “For the past couple of days, no one really knew which direction this was going to turn, and her family was preparing for the worst,” they said.

“That is why it was kept a secret since Saturday,” they added. “Everyone believed that we may lose her, and that has been the reality of the situation.”

Radar Online, meanwhile, revealed that Madonna’s stint in hospital was more severe than initially thought – medics who treated the unresponsive star at her apartment were reportedly forced to administer a NARCAN injection.

Fortunately, the singer was eventually released from hospital and could continue her recovery at home. Her aforementioned Celebration Tour is now in full swing, with the Vogue star gaining widespread praise for her looks after uploading a series of photos from her tour.

According to reports, the Paris, France leg of Madonna’s tour attracted particular attention, with fans showering her with compliments. One even dubbed her “the most beautiful woman in the world.”

One person wrote on Twitter: “How is this woman sixty five years old? Please share your secrets with us and your filter. QUEEN 👸👑“

Another wrote: “You look like a woman of 35 years old”

A third added: “THE most famous woman ever in front of a lens. Still the most exotic, most beguiling thing I’ve ever seen ❤️🔥“

Famous fashion designer Donatella Versace, meanwhile, praised her long time friend as being “the most beautiful”.
