Legendary Jazz singer Al Jarreau is currently undergoing various tests at a cardiac center in Marseille, France after suffering breathing problems and becoming "weak from the altitude" while in the French Alps last week.According to his publicist, the 70-year-old Grammy Award-winner became ill on Thursday in the southern French Alps which forced the singer to cancel a string of shows in Germany, Azerbaijan and France.
"Mr. Jarreau hopes to resume his tour at the end of the coming week," according to a statement posted on his website. "Meanwhile, he has been quietly serenading the hospital staff to stay on point."
Despite the statement, Jarreau's cardiologist, Dr. Jean-Louis Bonnet stated today that the singer could possibly be discharged this weekend before continuing his scheduled European concert tour.
Adding, "everything's going well" and that Jarreau's "state of health is coming along quite normally."
