George Michael was dramatically rushed to the hospital after collapsing at his home on Wednesday night.
Following a 999 call made by a friend, paramedics arrived at 8am in two ambulances at his North London home.
Paramedics stayed there for approximately four hours and left with the Wham! singer on board for further treatment at the hospital.
A statement released by his agent reads: “George Michael was in hospital for routine tests.”
However, his agent has refused to say why the Careless Whisper singer collapsed or whether drugs were involved.
An Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We were called just before 8am. We sent two ambulance crews and staff treated a man, who was taken to hospital.”
George nearly died of pneumonia in 2011 and has battled depression and drug addiction.
