George Michael's Condition 'Improving' In Hospital

George Michael's condition is said to be 'improving' after catching severe pneumonia, it has been reported.

The singer has been ordered by doctors to stay in hospital in Vienna, Austria after catching ‘serve’ pneumonia.

He initially cancelled his upcoming two dates at Cardiff, Motorpoint Arena but a spokesman has now confirmed that none of the planned UK shows will go ahead.

In a statement, Professors Gottfried Locker and Christoph Zielinski said: "The latest development in Mr Michael's case, which has evolved from a severe pneumococcal infection, necessitated intensive care due to its severity and extension.

"We are happy to announce that Mr Michael is improving steadily with an impressive regression of pneumonic symptoms and follows a steady rate of improvement as hoped.

"There are no other health issues with regards to the patient other than the underlying pneumonic disorder, and no further measures had to be taken."

They continued: "Mr Michael is receiving precisely the same treatment as any ordinary patient in Austria would receive at the hospital for this disease."

George Michael’s publicist Connie Filippello said: "George Michael is ill with pneumonia and any other speculation regarding his illness is unfounded and untrue."

All 14 dates on his Symphonica tour will be rescheduled for next year.
