 Dame Shirley Bassey has been discharged from the French hospital where she was recovering from an emergency operation on her stomach, her spokesman said yesterday.The singer, 71, was taken to hospital with abdominal pains in the middle of the night last week after calling out her doctor in Monaco, where she lives.But her spokesman Paul Carey said: "She is out of hospital today and back at home, resting up and on the road to a full recovery".The star, who wowed audiences at last year's Glastonbury festival in diamante-encrusted wellington boots, has enjoyed chart success since the late 1950s.
She sang the Bond theme tunes for Goldfinger, Diamonds Are Forever and Moonraker.
The Welsh-born singer now begins rehearsals for her performance at next month's Nelson Mandela 90th birthday concert in Hyde Park.The Big Spender and No Regrets star attracted a new generation of fans with History Repeating in 1997, a collaboration with the Propellerheads.The singer was made a dame in 1999.
