Boy George has spoken to his “beautiful” mum Dinah after she was hospitalised on Thursday.

While doctors don’t know whether Dinah’s issues are with her heart or lungs, the singer said she’s not suffering from the coronavirus.

Sharing an update with fans on Twitter on Friday, George wrote: “We spoke briefly yesterday because an amazing doctor managed to get mum her phone.

We spoke briefly yesterday because an amazing doctor managed to get mum her phone. We don't know anything but I'm super grateful for the amazing messages. x https://t.co/Uf4iYbFV9w

“We don’t know anything but I’m super grateful for the amazing messages. x.”

Dinah was rushed to hospital on Thursday, and he said doctors “won’t resuscitate if things go wrong”.

The Culture Club star tweeted: “My beautiful mum is in the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Woolwich (London). A problem with her heart or lungs.

My beautiful mum is in the Queen Elizabeth hospital in Woolwich. A problem with her heart or lungs. She’s stable but they have said they won’t resuscitate her if things go wrong? Apparently, it won’t work? How can they know. Please pray! @LG_NHS

— Boy George (Boomer) (@BoyGeorge) April 16, 2020

“She’s stable but they have said they won’t resuscitate her if things go wrong?” he added. “Apparently, it won’t work? How can they know. Please pray!”

George has four brothers and one sister. His dad Jeremiah died in 2003.

The Karma Chameleon singer is known to be particularly close to his mum, and notably pulled her through a terrifying overdose ordeal during his youth.

We’re sending lots of love to Dinah and George.
