Madonna recovering at home from hospital

Madonna has gone home after a several-day stay in the hospital and was “feeling better,” a source close to the matter told AFP Thursday.

The 64-year-old pop superstar had fallen ill with a “serious bacterial infection” that landed her in an intensive care unit, her manager Guy Oseary had said in a statement on Wednesday.

She is expected to make a full recovery, he said, but had to delay her 84-date “Celebrations” tour due to start on July 15.
