Madonna has been diagnosed with anemia and was ordered by doctors to rest from her punishing rehearsals for her upcoming tour.According to tabloids, the pop superstar and fitness buff has been working out to a tough schedule prior to her Sticky and Sweet Tour scheduled to kick off next month.
British newspaper The Sun reports that the singer, 49, is now taking a break on physician’s orders, which came after she was found by medics to be suffering from anemia, an illness that causes the organs to be short of oxygen.
Apart from anemia, Madge is also said to be suffering from a knee injury and is reportedly in NY resort The Hamptons building up her strength.
The publication quotes a source as saying, “Madonna is doing less than OK. She has been rehearsing for the tour and she is totally miserable. She’s down physically and mentally.
“Madonna was told to go soft on work and rehearsals, so she will now take one proper day off every week and go easy in the mornings.
“She has a blood analysis done every few days - including one during last Friday’s (July 18) rehearsal in front of everyone.”
