Madonna is said to be \u2018chomping at the bit\u2019 and back to rehearsals for her Celebration Tour after an alarming recent health scare. <\/p>\n
The Like A Prayer Singer, 64, worried fans when her manager Guy Oseary announced she had suffered a serious bacterial infection which left her in ICU for several days. <\/p>\n
She was found unresponsive and rushed to hospital for treatment, leaving her family fearing \u2018the worst\u2019. Thankfully, the Vogue hitmaker is now recovering from the terrifying ordeal. <\/p>\n
This came just before Madonna\u2019s much-animated Celebration Tour \u2013 reminiscing her 40-year career \u2013 was due to kick off in Canada on July 15. <\/p>\n
North America dates are being rescheduled, with the Europe leg of the world tour set to begin in October. <\/p>\n
Now, it has been reported by The Sun that two months ahead of kick off, the icon is said to have hired out The Coliseum in New York\u00a0and is back rehearsing. <\/p>\n
But the Holiday singer\u2019s health problems aren\u2019t said to be completely over, as she\u2019s \u2018still in recovery\u2019. <\/p>\n

A source told the publication: \u2018She is very much still in recovery but Madonna has been chomping at the bit to get back to rehearsals.<\/p>\n
\u2018Not only has she hired the Coliseum in New York but she\u2019s also hired out a second venue in\u00a0London\u00a0for the final week of dress rehearsals.\u2019 <\/p>\n
They continued to explain how the final week of rehearsals would normally see Madonna in the same venue as the tour starts in \u2013 in this case, London\u2019s O2 \u2013 but due to Blink-182\u2019s series of gigs, she can only get in 48 hours before.<\/p>\n
