Newest Articles on George Michael’s Condition

Here are the latest articles on George’s condition.
The Mirror (George Michael ‘hit with new lung condition’ on top of pneumonia) is reporting:

Media in Austria, where he is being treated for pneumonia, claimed he also has acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS, which stops oxygen getting into the blood.

What I found strange was this paragraph because fewer statements are going to mean more rumors:

Vienna’s AKH hospital on Friday said the ­pneumonia had stabilised. It added yesterday: “As requested by the patient, there will be no further statements or updates.”

The Sun (George Michael and his £100000 miracle bed) is reporting:

Last night sources said George had developed potentially-fatal Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome — a lung condition often caused by pneumonia, which stops oxygen getting into the blood.

Survivors may have memory loss or other mental issues in recovery due to lack of oxygen to the brain. It is often accompanied by failure of other organs, such as the kidney or liver. A kidney specialist has reportedly been assigned to his medical team at the hospital.

George Michael “Getting Better by the Hour.”

From the Mirror:

GEORGE Michael’s boyfriend told yesterday how he is ­keeping vigil at his bedside and revealed: “He’s getting better by the hour.”

Fadi Fawaz has been at the singer’s side ever since he was admitted to a ­hospital in Austria with severe pneumonia.

Celebrity hairdresser Fadi, 38, has ­reassured George’s millions of fans that he is improving and regaining his strength.

“George is doing well and is in good spirits,” he said. “I have been seeing him each day and he is getting stronger all the time. George is trying to stay upbeat. He is ­smiling through it all and everyone is just willing him to get better.”

Fadi says he felt compelled to break his silence about George’s illness amid ­increasingly worrying claims that the singer’s condition is worsening. Reports yesterday emerged saying doctors had placed George in an induced coma at ­Vienna’s AKH Hospital suffering with the a severe lung condition called acute ­respiratory distress syndrome. It came a day after reports claimed he was deteriorating with a heart problem which had left him in severe pain.

But Fadi, 38, insisted: “A lot of what has been reported isn’t true. I’ve been with him every day and his condition is getting better. His family and friends are very happy with his care. He is in the best place, getting the treatment he needs.”

Statement from Doctors Regarding George Michael’s Health

From the official site:

While George is receiving excellent medical care and is responding to treatment and slowly improving, to ensure his complete well-being, George’s doctors have advised that he cannot perform the rest of his Symphonica tour and that he instead takes a full and complete rest.

Prof. Dr. Christoph Zielinski, Chairman, Department of Medicine General Hospital – Medical University Vienna, Austria and Prof. Dr. Thomas Staudinger, Specialist in Internal Medicine and Intensive Care Medicine have stated the following:

“George Michael has severe community acquired pneumonia and is being treated as an inpatient. His condition has stabilized and he is responding to treatment. From the current point of view, the time until recovery cannot be estimated, but he will not be able to perform the rest of the tour. Besides medical treatment, complete rest and peace and quiet are mandatory.”

As a result, all of the UK dates of the Symphonica European tour will be postponed. George was very much looking forward to bringing his tour back home and performing for his loyal and dedicated UK fan base.
