- Story Text:Spanish singer Raphael was "well" but remains hospitalised for further tests, Spanish news agency EFE said on Wednesday (December 18).
EFE added Raphael did not suffer a stroke, as it was first reported in the media. The agency talked to relatives who said the singer spent the night "calm and conscious", after he was admitted to hospital on Tuesday (December 17).
The tireless 81-year-old was shooting an interview at Spanish TVE on Tuesday when he felt ill.
Raphael was expected to perform two concerts in Madrid on Friday and Saturday (December 20-21). His management did not confirm the cancellations of the events.
Since his first performance at the Benidorm Festival in 1962, the Spanish icon has sold 50 million records around the world. He has been awarded 335 gold discs, 50 platinum discs and a uranium disc, his website said.
