Pavarotti doctors 'positive' about singer's condition
Doctors treating Luciano Pavarotti in an Italian hospital are "very positive" about the star's illness.
The Italian tenor, who is battling pancreatic cancer, was admitted to the Modena University Policlinico in northern Italy on Wednesday with a fever - but medics are confident the star will make a recovery.
His second wife, Nicoletta Mantovani, insists the star's condition appears to be improving.
She says: "He is calm, he is talking and joking. The doctors are very positive."
Doctors at the hospital expect the singer to be discharged from hospital "within the next few days".
Pavarotti underwent surgery for his cancer last year and has since had at least five rounds of chemotherapy. Fears for his health mounted further last month when his daughter Guiliana reportedly told a magazine her famous father hasn't got long to live.
