Madonna is ready to conquer the stage again after her hospitalization in June.

The Queen of Pop spent time in an ICU after contracting a serious bacterial infection that left her intubated. The health scare also caused her doctors to revive her with Narcan, per reports.

Since getting discharged from the medical facility, Madonna has started working on her recovery and preparing ahead of her previously postponed tour. After a long wait, people started seeing the bright side of her efforts to feel strong and well again.

Madonna "Strong" Before Celebration Tour

A source exclusively told People that "strong" Madonna officially returned to work on Monday, restarting her rehearsals.

"She's so happy to be back onstage and is feeling strong," the insider continued. "She's working closely with her longtime collaborators, Jamie King and Stuart Price, to put the final touches on the show."

The source added that the upcoming Celebration Tour would be Madonna's most ambitious one ever.

The 65-year-old "Back That Up To The Beat" hitmaker previously expressed how grateful she was to be alive when she celebrated her birthday with her family in Lisbon. The source said she enjoyed her celebration, but she is back to work and focuses on the tour now.

Madonna is said to be feeling happy now that she is back in a creative environment, and fans will feel it once they see her on stage again, starting at the O2 Arena four sold-out shows.

She will start the North American leg of her "Celebration" tour with three consecutive shows at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

Before the changes, Madonna said in January that her "Celebration" tour would commemorate the 40th anniversary of her career and pay homage to her "Celebration" album.
