The US leg of Madonna’s upcoming tour has been cancelled as she continues to recover from a viral infection.

Entertainment reporter Peter Ford told Millsy and Mick on 6PR Breakfast the entertainer released a statement saying she woke up in hospital.

“That would probably play into that reporting that she was found unresponsive,” Mr Ford said.

“I don’t know why she’s waited until now to cancel the US dates.”
