'My focus now is my health': Madonna releases statement since health scare

Madonna has shocked fans with her appearance after sharing a series of selfies on social media.

It comes as the music legend continues her recovery at home after suffering a serious bacterial infection that forced her to postpone her world tour.

Wearing natural make-up with her blonde hair tied in a braid, the music icon looked more youthful than ever.

The heavily filtered Instagram snap showed the star looking blissful as she hugged a giant bouquet of pink roses.

She captioned her post: “A single rose can be my garden. A single friend my world. Thank You.”

The star added black heart and red rose emojis to the touching post. The quote was attributed to the late author and motivational speaker Leo Buscaglia.

Concerned fans were quick to respond to Madonna’s post, which comes just weeks after she ended up in intensive care after being found unresponsive in her New York townhouse.

“We love u! We’re so blessed to have you in this world,” one fan wrote.

“I hope you’re feeling better, my love,” another posted.

Another referenced one of the star’s major hits by posting: “This used to be my playground.”

Another follower pointed out Madonna’s smoother-than-usual facade.

“I thought this was Ariana Grande,” one wrote.

One follower argued in the comments section that Madonna looked “younger” than her 26-year-old daughter, Lourdes Leon, begging her to “cut off the Photoshop.”

The pop legend has delayed her highly anticipated Celebration Tour, which was due to kick off in mid-July.

According to reports, she had been rehearsing for the tour non-stop in the lead-up to her health scare.

She has rescheduled the North American leg of the stadium tour and instead will start her series of shows in October in Europe.

The seven-time Grammy winner informed her millions of Instagram followers last week that she was on the road to recovery.

“Thank you for your positive energy, Prayers and words of healing and encouragement,” Madonna wrote.

“I have felt your love. I’m on the road to recovery and incredibly grateful for all the blessings in my life.

“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 now is my health and getting stronger and I assure you, I’ll be back with you as soon as I can!”
