Madonna is continuing to recover after being hospitalized over the weekend for a "serious bacterial infection," PEOPLE confirms.

"She's back home and feeling better," a source tells PEOPLE exclusively.

On Wednesday, Madonna's longtime manager Guy Oseary announced on his Instagram account that the Queen of Pop, 64, was hospitalized on Saturday after developing a serious bacterial infection which led to a "several day stay in the ICU."

A source told PEOPLE on Wednesday the superstar was "out of the ICU and recovering."

In his post, Oseary also told fans Madonna's work commitments — including a highly anticipated tour originally scheduled to kick off next month — would have to be halted.

"We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows," wrote Oseary, who added that Madonna was expected to make a "full recovery."

Madonna announced her Celebration Tour in January, telling fans she wanted to commemorate the 40-year anniversary of her career with the upcoming shows and pay tribute to the city where she first launched to stardom: New York.

"I am excited to explore as many songs as possible in hopes to give my fans the show they have been waiting for," said Madonna in a press release about the tour.

Days before her hospitalization, Madonna gave fans a peek at her new shows, captioning a series of Instagram photos from rehearsals "The Calm Before The Storm………."

After news broke of her illness, friends and famous fans including Rita Wilson, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Batiste, Evan Rachel Wood and more offered support on social media.
