Madonna has made her return to social media after a health crisis last month left her hospitalized, finally breaking her silence on her emergency and sharing an update with fans.
The singer, 64, wrote in a statement: "Thank you for your positive energy, Prayers and words of healing and encouragement. I have felt your love.

"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.

The singer's health scare, the details of which remain unclear, coincides with the upcoming The Celebration Tour, a comprehensive 84-date journey set to commence on July 15 in Vancouver at the Rogers Arena.
Guy Oseary, Madonna's manager, announced last week that they would need to "pause all commitments, which includes the tour."
The Celebration Tour pays homage to the legendary singer's awe-inspiring career spanning over four decades and was nearly sold out globally immediately after tickets were made available.
