Madonna Fall
Will Not Delay CD
Pop star
Madonna is recovering after breaking
several bones in a horse-riding accident
on her country estate on
Tuesday.
"I can
tell you Madonna is doing well," the
singer's spokeswoman said.
Madonna
suffered three cracked ribs, a broken
collarbone and a broken hand in the fall.
A gamekeeper said she left her home by
helicopter on Wednesday.
UK
spokeswoman Barbara Charone also said the
accident would not delay the release of
her new album in November.
"Her LP
is finished and is on course to come out
in November with a single prior," she
said.
The star
is also expected to go on tour next
summer.
The
accident happened when she fell off a new
horse in the grounds of her Ashcombe House
on the border of Wiltshire and Dorset on
her 47th birthday.
She was
treated at hospital in Salisbury, 90 miles
(150 kilometres) south-west of
London.
Her US
spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg said the singer
had been riding for four or five
months.
"She's
spent a lot of time riding when she's out
in the country," she said.
The
1,200-acre Ashcombe estate, the former
home of photographer Cecil Beaton, has
been described as one of Britain's finest
sporting estates.
Madonna
and Ritchie bought it in 2001 and she told
Vogue she wore sensible shoes, went
hunting and fishing and looked after
chickens. She also reportedly took up
shooting.
"Now I
love England and want to be here and not
in America. I see England as my home," she
told the magazine last month. In the
summertime, it is the most beautiful place
in the world."
Last
year she won her battle to have ramblers
banned from the estate for half the year
because of the risk of them being shot
during the shooting season.
During
the rest of the year, a small section of
land is open.
