“Madonna has been working around the clock to ensure that both her music and her world tour are second to none.
“Obviously everything is on hold now, but the fact that she was in the studio with Katy for a few hours before she was rushed to ICU shows how determined she was to keep going despite that she felt unwell.’
MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Madonna and Katy for comment.
The pop legend is said to be back home now and on the mend, though it could be months before she’s back to full strength.
It’s still not clear what kind of infection she had, but experts said intense preparation for her tour and grueling workouts may have made her more susceptible to normally harmless infections.
After looking at photos taken in the days before her illness, doctors said she looked “exhausted” and “skinny.”
In a photo posted to Instagram four days before her hospitalization with the caption “the calm before the storm,” she lies on the floor wearing a black jumpsuit and fishnet tights.
Her hair and makeup are flawless and nothing out of place, although she also looks “thin” — said Dr. Thomas Moore, an infectious disease expert at the University of Kansas.

Dr. Fischer, who is also a former New York City emergency room physician, told DailyMail.com after viewing the photos that she was clearly “exhausted.”
“She looks exhausted,” he said.
‘Intense rehearsal and the stress associated with large-scale performances are undoubtedly risks for immunosuppression and unwanted health problems.
It is the doctor’s responsibility to point this out. Just because someone is an international celebrity doesn’t mean he’s invulnerable.’
Dr. Thomas Moore, an infectious disease expert at the University of Kansas, said of the images, “She doesn’t look much like the Madonna I’m used to seeing.”
He told DailyMail.com, “She looks skinny in the pictures. She doesn’t look good, but it’s all relevant.
“She’s such a dedicated performer that I wonder if she wasn’t feeling well and pushed herself too far.”
It has not been revealed what serious bacterial infection Madonna was suffering from, although rumors suggest it could be sepsis – a life-threatening reaction to an infection in which the immune system attacks the body.
Bacteria can enter through cuts, wounds and the digestive system, among other things. Sepsis is caused when the bacteria enters the bloodstream.
Dr. Fischer, who believes sepsis to be the most likely explanation, said the star should not have been released from the hospital so early.

The doctor, who has treated many celebrities, Oscar nominees and TV stars in his more than 40-year career, said doctors should have stood their ground.
“This layoff could put her life in danger,” he said.
‘Doesn’t matter how hard [celebrities] push you, you don’t unload them that fast.
“On the outside they may be a celebrity, but on the inside everyone is the same and everyone has the same organs.”
