By Karen Butler

Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Pop music icon Madonna has announced on social media she will take a break from touring to recover from unspecified health issues.

"Please forgive this unexpected turn of events. Doing my show every night brings me so much joy and to cancel is a kind of punishment for me but the pain I'm in right now is overwhelming and I must rest and follow doctors orders so i can come back stronger and better and continue the Madame X journey with all of you," the 61-year-old singer wrote on Instagram Wednesday night.
