A London Ambulance Service spokesman told the Mirror: “We were called just before 8am on May 22.

"We sent two ambulance crews and staff treated one patient, a man, who was then taken to hospital.”

George Michael has suffered a series of medical problems since 2011.

The singer, 50, has been out of the spotlight since last year, when he fell out of a car on the M1 motorway and was airlifted to hospital with a head injury.

In 2011 he suffered severe pneumonia which left him temporarily in a coma and meant he needed to undergo a tracheotomy in order to breathe.

He has also battled depression and drug addiction.

Singer George Michael has been rushed to hospital after "suffering a mystery collapse," the Sun newspaper reported.

It said the former Wham! star, 50, was taken to hospital in an ambulance from his home in north London.
