George Michael who was taken to hospital last week after he collapsed at home has been discharged and is recuperating at home.

A statement read: “In response to newspaper reports today we can confirm George was admitted to hospital on May 22, 2014. He was discharged and is well and resting. He is very much looking forward to the release of his new single in July.

Two ambulances were called to George Michael’s north London residence at about 08:00 am on Thursday morning (May 22, 2014) by a worried friend, the London Ambulance Service has confirmed. Witnesses claim the ambulance crew only left the house with the singer four hours after their arrival. They then took George Michael to hospital for emergency treatment.

The report is the latest in a string of health scares for the star in recent years. In May 2013, George Michael was airlifted to hospital with a head injury after he fell out of a moving car on the M1.

He was struck down with pneumonia eighteen months earlier. Upon his recovery, he made a tearful statement to fans outside his home, telling press it had been touch and go as to whether he lived after doctors were forced to perform an emergency tracheotomy on him to keep him breathing.

We wish this talented singer a speedy recovery and are looking forward to the release of his new single in July 2014.
