An attorney for R&B crooner R. Kelly has revealed that the Chicago bred singer is currently hospitalized in Miami with appendicitis.
According to Terence Gillespie, Kelly's attorney, who spoke to The Chicago Sun-Times, the Grammy award singer had traveled to Miami over the weekend to attend the Super Bowl but had to be rushed to hospital on the day of the big game.
"He was admitted on the 4th of February, and he was operated on shortly after admission," Gillespie told the Sun-Times. "He's recuperating fine."
Kelly will miss a scheduled status hearing relating to his child-pornography case today (February 7). According to assistant Cook County State's attorney Shauna Boliker, the hearing would proceed as planned without the singer.
Kelly is currently awaiting trial on child-pornography charges for allegedly making a sex video with a 14-year-old girl. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
