Madonna was forced to postpone some of her shows

Madonna "won't allow anything to get in her way" and will "never slow down", according to one of her ex-boyfriends.

The Queen of Pop, 64, had a terrifying health scare last month as she was rushed to an intensive care unit after suffering a severe bacterial infection. She had been found "unresponsive" and was said to have been injected with the drug Narcan to combat her life-threatening septic shock.

Madonna was forced to postpone her upcoming Celebration tour following the incident, but her ex-boyfriend Peter Kentes believes the singer will come back fighting.

Peter said: "Madonna will conquer this illness and have a successful tour. She's always been full of energy, out-working other performers, and I can't see her ever slowing down."

Peter first met Madonna when she was 19 at the University of Michigan. She was studying dance and he was an instructor in his mid-twenties.

Speaking about his ex-girlfriend, Peter told The Sun: "Madonna created herself. She won't allow anything to get in her way.

"This was a girl who could go out clubbing all night when I knew her and would be ready to start ballet class at 7.30am. She'll be like Mae West. She'll always be a headliner."

Madonna recently shared an update with fans on Instagram as she revealed some new dates for her world tour.

"I did not want to disappoint anyone who bought tickets for my tour, I also didn't want to let down the people who worked tirelessly with me over the last few months to create my show. I hate to disappoint anyone," she admitted.

"My focus now is my health and getting stronger and I assure you, I'll be back with you as soon as I can!

"The current plan is to reschedule the North American leg of the tour and to begin in October in Europe. I couldn't be more grateful for your care and support. Love, M," Madonna concluded.
