'What happened to her': Madonna's 'painful' snaps spark concern 4 months after hospital stint

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Madonna's most recent photos have alarmed her fans.

After being admitted to the hospital in June with a serious bacterial infection and spending several days in the intensive care unit, the 65-year-old Queen of Pop is now getting ready for her rescheduled world tour.

However, her new online videos show her looking seriously different from her usual visage, much to her fans' dismay.

Fans say Madonna's 'lips look painful'

The singer typically has chiseled cheekbones, but in recent photos, her face appears fuller. One fan asked, "Jesus what happened to her." Someone else commented, "Her lips look painful."

Another person said, "People need to stop injecting their faces." Someone else wrote, "She’s got the wrong doctor giving her filler in the wrong places - all that money and she can’t get it right." Meanwhile, a user commented, "Im scared."

Madonna's health scare 

After being released from the hospital, Madonna continued her recovery at her New York residence while being supported by her children Lourdes Leon, 26, Rocco Ritchie, 23, David Banda, 18, Mercy James, 17, and Stella and Estere, twins who are 11 years old, as reported by Mirror.

Following a health scare, Madonna was compelled to delay the start of her Celebration world tour, which was to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the release of her self-titled debut album.

Since then, the pop icon has changed the date of her tour, which will now begin at London's O2 Arena. The Celebration Tour will launch on October 14 with a four-night stand at London's O2 Arena before traveling to ten other cities, including Copenhagen, Barcelona, Paris, and Milan.

Madonna thanked fans after hospital stint

Madonna posted a statement on social media after her urgent hospital visit, assuring her fans that she was recovering after spending time in intensive care. She wrote on Instagram, “Thank you for your positive energy, prayers and words of healing and encouragement. I have felt your love. I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life."

She added, "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. I also didn’t want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show."

"I hate to disappoint anyone. My focus is now my health and getting stronger and I can assure you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can!” she promised at the end of the post. The celebrity has since been getting ready to embark on her first tour in three years.

Madonna's birthday celebration in Lisbon

In August, she celebrated her birthday with her loved ones in Lisbon, Portugal, where she was joined by her children.

She penned on Instagram, “It's great to be Alive ... and Amazing to Be able to put on my dancing shoes and Celebrate my Birthday! I'm So Grateful. Thank you Lisbon and to all who made it possible!”
