The shows were originally planned for July 18 and 19 at Climate Pledge Arena.

In a statement released on Monday, Madonna said, “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.

She said in her tweet the “current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe.”
