Pavarotti to be released from hospital

ROME - Luciano Pavarotti, who was admitted to the hospital last week with
a fever, is expected to be released "imminently" and is in high spirits
and ready to resume recording a new album, his spokeswoman said Tuesday.

Doctors have given the 71-year-old tenor the go-ahead to leave the Modena
hospital where he has been undergoing tests since Wednesday, manager
Terri Robson said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.

Pavarotti, who underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer last year, was
hospitalized in his hometown after a routine examination revealed a high
temperature, Robson said.

"He will be leaving hospital imminently," Robson said. "He is looking
forward to getting back to teaching his young singing pupils as soon as
he is out of hospital and next month plans to get back into his Modena
recording studio to resume work on his new album of sacred songs."

Robson, who visited Pavarotti on Monday, said he was in "wonderfully high
spirits" when she saw him.

Pavarotti underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer in July 2006 in a New
York hospital. Pancreatic cancer is one of the most dangerous forms of
the disease, though doctors said the surgery offered improved hopes for
survival.

At the time of the operation, Pavarotti had been preparing to resume his
farewell tour. He has made no public appearances since then. Robson has
said he has been busy teaching and working on a recording of sacred music.
