TOLLARD ROYAL, England - Pop star Madonna was recovering on Wednesday after suffering several broken bones in a riding accident, but the injuries were not expected to delay the launch of her new album due out in November. The singer cracked three ribs and broke her collar bone and a hand when she fell off her horse last Tuesday at her 1,200-acre English country estate, Ashcombe House. She had been celebrating her 47th birthday with husband Guy Ritchie and two children Lourdes and Rocco. The $16 million property is located near the village of Tollard Royal, around 160 km southwest of London. Madonna's New York publicist said the American artist, famous around the world for hits including "Material Girl" and "Like a Virgin", was riding a new horse at the time of the fall. She was treated at a local hospital in Salisbury and later discharged. Medical experts said it would take up to eight weeks for Madonna to recover from her injuries. Professor Chris Moran of the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham said: "Rib fractures are very painful but usually heal very quickly. The pain goes in four to six weeks." He added that Madonna may need to undergo physiotherapy to get full movement back in her hand, and could have a wait of up to eight weeks for her collar bone to heal. Madonna is due to release a new album "Confessions on a Dancefloor" in November. Madonna has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide. She has also written several children's books. Reuters
