Sir Paul McCartney In Tokyo Hospital For Virus
Sir Paul McCartney has been treated in a Japanese hospital after getting a virus, which forced him to cancel five concerts of his Out There World tour.
A spokeswoman for the 71-year-old former Beatle, Perri Cohen, said: "Since contracting a virus last week that led to the postponement of tour dates, Paul received successful medical treatment at a hospital in Tokyo. He will make a complete recovery and has been ordered to take a few days rest."
The statement also added the singer thanked his fans for their concerns: "Paul has been extremely moved by all the messages and well wishes he has received from fans all over the world."
The tour is due to resume with 19 more dates in the US after being on the road more than a year through Japan, North and South America and Europe.
