George Michael revealed that he’s spent the last few weeks in a life-and-death battle with pneumonia during an emotional statement to reporters outside his home in London on Friday.

The recording artist choked up as he described his ordeal as “by far, the worst month of my life.”

He said doctors at a Vienna hospital spent three weeks “keeping me alive.”

“I spent the last ten days since I woke up literally thanking people for saving my life,” remarked a very emotional Michael.

“I’m incredibly fortunate to be here,” said the pop star. “If I wasn’t spiritual enough [before the illness], then I certainly am now.”
