1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,239
Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest.

2
00:00:03,480 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 2: After a recent and very serious bacterial infection that left

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: her hospitalized in the ICU for seven days, Madonna's made

4
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 2: the difficult but understandable decision to cancel the North American

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: leg that would have begun her Celebration World tour, but

6
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: there is a silver lining as she hopes to reschedule

7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,040
Speaker 2: all those shows. In a statement on Social Madonna rights,

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: my first thought when I woke up in the hospital

9
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: was of my children. My second thought was that I

10
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 2: didn't want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour,

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: or the people who work tirelessly with me over the

12
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: last few months to create my show. I hate to

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: disappoint people, she says. My focus now is my health

14
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: and getting stronger, and I assure you I'll be back

15
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: with you as soon as I can. Her plan for

16
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: now is to swap the order of the two legs,

17
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: where she'll instead start in Europe in October and then

18
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 2: back home after. So if you've got tickets, be patient,

19
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: and we do hope for the best for Madonna.

20
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: That's direct from Hollywood,
