- Rosie O'Donnell gave fans an update on her friend Madonna's condition, after the singer was hospitalized for an infection.
- The talk show host said Madonna is "very strong in general" and currently "recovering at home."
Rosie O'Donnell gave fans an update on her friend Madonna's condition after sharing a sweet photo of herself and the singer to social media.
On Sunday, the talk show host posted the throwback picture — of herself and Madonna in a scene from the 1992 film "A League of Their Own" — with the caption: "remember when? #league #mo."
But fans in the comments of O'Donnell's post were quick to ask about the condition of the "Like a Prayer" singer, who was hospitalized in late June with a "serious bacterial infection."
"God bless her I hope she's ok, I don't care about the tour," one fan wrote, referring to the fact that Madonna's "Celebration" tour was postponed due to her illness.
"Shes good," O'Donnell responded to the fan, along with a heart emoji.
And when another user asked for an update on the singer, O'Donnell wrote: "she is recovering at home - she is very strong in general."
On Wednesday, Madonna's manager Guy Oseary shared news of the singer's illness on Instagram, revealing to fans that she had spent several days in the intensive care unit after falling ill a few days earlier. Per Oseary, Madonna is expected to make a full recovery, but has to postpone her tour — scheduled to kick off on July 15 — as a result.
Madonna and O'Donnell starred as baseball players Mae Mordabito and Doris Murphy, respectively, in the 1992 film, opposite Geena Davis and Tom Hanks. O'Donnell has said the two have remained close over the last 30 years.
