MARSEILLE, France, July 27 (UPI) -- U.S. soul singer Al Jarreau remains hospitalized in France but is on the mend and eager to start performing again, his manager said.

He was initially hospitalized in critical condition, but his condition improved to stable Friday.
"Grammy Award-winning singer Al Jarreau has been transferred from the hospital in Gap, France to a Cardiac Center in Marseille for observation and recovery. Mr. Jarreau will undergo a series of tests, and he will work to strengthen himself, while in the care of the renowned medical team in Marseille," the manager said in a statement posted on Jarreau's Web site Sunday.
