George’s rep has declined to comment on his mystery ailment, simply stating: “George Michael was in hospital for routine tests but there is nothing further to say”.
A London Ambulance Service spokesperson has also confirmed the incident, saying: “We were called just before 8am on May 22. We sent two ambulance crews and staff treated one patient, a man, who was then taken to hospital”.
George has suffered a number of health problems in the past and nearly died of pneumonia in 2011.
Later that year, the former Wham! star cancelled a series of Royal Albert Hall concerts after falling ill with a viral infection.
While promoting the album he gave his first print interview in five years, in which he stated that he hadn’t touched any drugs in 18 months.
