Paul McCartney health update

Details are vague on the illness that led Paul to cancel a slate of concerts in Japan and Korea recently, but the general consensus from insiders is that he's on the mend.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Paul's spokespeople provided little information about Paul's ailments and treatment at Tokyo's St. Luke International Hospital:
...but his personal spokesman insisted: “He will make a complete recovery and has been ordered to take a few days rest.”

He added: “Paul has been extremely moved by all the goodwill messages he has received from fans all over the world.”
Added the Echo:
Macca’s musician brother Mike, a singer with the Scaffold, revealed that he had received a reassuring text from the star. He said: “Paul told me he was recovering slowly but surely, so I’m sure he’s on the mend.”
The following statement appeared on Paul's official site:
"Since contracting a virus last week that led to the postponement of tour dates, Paul received successful medical treatment at a hospital in Tokyo. He will make a complete recovery and has been ordered to take a few days rest. Paul has been extremely moved by all the messages and well wishes he has received from fans all over the world."
The International Business Times ran this later statement from Paul's team:
"Paul McCartney will regrettably have to cancel the remaining Japanese shows. Paul is still not feeling better and this cancelation is unavoidable. He was hoping to be better but the doctors have ordered him complete rest. Paul has been extremely moved by the messages from his fans and is upset to be letting them down."
Paul is set to begin U.S. Tour June 18 in Lubbock, Texas.
