Superstars Madonna and Katy Perry were reportedly working in a music studio together just hours before her imminent collapse and hospitalisation, a source says.
A source that spoke to The Sun shared that the two singers were locked in a studio working on music ahead of Madonna’s Celebration tour, which has since been postponed.
“Madonna has long admired Katy and they have worked together before but never managed to actually put anything out,” the source said.

“Madonna has been working around the clock to make sure both her music and her world tour are second to none.
“Obviously everything has been put on hold now but the fact she was in the studio with Katy just hours before being rushed to the ICU shows how determined she was to push ahead despite feeling unwell.”
It comes after claims that the Material Girl singer pushed through symptoms of what turned out to be a “serious bacterial infection”.

The 64-year-old reportedly battled a “low-grade fever” for a month before being found “unresponsive” in her New York City apartment.
It was revealed on Thursday that she was rushed to the hospital on Saturday, June 24 (local time), even undergoing a several-day-long stint in the intensive care unit.
Her manager, Guy Oseary, wrote in a statement posted to Instagram: “On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU.”

“Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected.
“At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.
“We will share more details with you soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”
The singer is now back home from the hospital and “in the clear”, according to one source.
