George Michael's Doctors 'Generally Optimistic' Over His Recovery From Pneumonia

George Michael's doctors are 'generally optimistic' about the singer's recovery and are unsure whether he will be home in time for Christmas.

The singer was ordered by doctors to stay in hospital in Vienna, Austria after catching ‘serve’ pneumonia last month.

According to the Daily Mirror, his physician Christoph Zienlinski has said he's "doing well", but can not clarify whether he will be fit enough to fly home: [It's] something that we are not in the position to decide. That is something that must be decided in consultation with the patient.

George Michael tweeted fans on his condition earlier this year:'Christmas at home. I cannot stop smiling today, the best day ever. He is getting better and better. Nothing to worry about, happy days.'

The singer 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.

A spokesperson for the singer also added: "He is getting better and better."
