After being treated in Austria for pneumonia, pop star George Michael told reporters he was still feeling weak and revealed it was “touch and go” whether he would survive the illness. The 48-year-old also checked in with his Twitter followers (@GeorgeMichael) after the statement outside his London home. George writes:

George Michael has announced a 47-date tour that will see him perform across Europe with a symphony orchestra. “What I actually said was that I wouldn’t do another arena show,” the British singer said in response to earlier claims his prior tour would be his last. “But what I really meant was I couldn’t see myself doing a big greatest hits show again.” Watch a report from ITN via DailyMotion below.

George Michael was arrested early Sunday on suspicion of driving while unfit after his Range Rover crashed into the front of the Snappy Snaps photo shop near his home in Hampstead. The singer wasn’t given a breathalyzer test according to the Daily Mail, but was believed to be tested for drugs at a north London police station. Watch a report from ITN below.

On August 24-25, George Michael filmed his final two concerts of the 25 Live Tour at London’s Earls Court arena.
