But, Michael, who cancelled the rest of his 2011 tour last week after falling ill, is making progress, but needs "absolute rest and restraint," said the release.

And despite rumors that the singer may be suffering from a more serious condition, it also qualified that Michael "is receiving exactly the same treatment as any normal patient in Austria would for this ailment."
