George Michael reschedules cancelled Symphonica dates
George Michael is healthy enough to think about going back on tour, rescheduling the Symphonica concert dates he had to cancel when he was hospitalized with pneumonia at the end of last year and adding a couple of shows for good measure, L.A. Times reported.
Michael revealed in December that he'd been near death for several weeks after falling ill in November, and on Tuesday he once again expressed his gratitude.
"I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you first to the doctors and nurses who saved my life and took such great care of me and to all my fans, family and friends for their love and support," the singer said on his official website. "I'm looking forward to seeing everyone."
Michael was so thankful, as a matter of fact, that he donated 1,000 tickets to the medical staff at AKH Hospital for the Sept. 4 kickoff show -- an addition to the tour -- in Vienna, Austria.
