Bassey recovers from emergency op

The Independent

Summary:
The 71-year-old singing legend, Dame Shirley Bassey is in the hospital recovering from an emergency operation on her stomach. Last week she had called out her doctor in Monaco, where she lives, complaining of abdominal pains. She was rushed to the hospital not long after that. The spokesman of Dame Shirley Bassey says that she is doing well. She is expected to recover in time for her performance at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday concert. Which will take place in Hyde Park next month.

This Welsh-born singer has had multiple chart success since the late 1950s. She has also sung the Bond theme tunes for Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever and Moonmaker. Her last hit was History Repeating, which came out in 1997. She was made a Dame in 1999

Opinion:
It is great that Dame Shirley Bassey is doing well. This Welsh-born singer is one of the greatest artists of all time. It is great to know that she will be with us for a while longer. I just hope that the media will leave her alone now. This woman should get the chance to recover in peace. When the media is following you like a hawk it is hard to recover. She should have the chance to recover quickly because she has to perform at Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday concert. Nobody deserves this concert more then Nelson Mandela and a performance by Dame Shirley Bassey should be part of that.
