Singer Natalie Cole, who recently revealed she had hepatitis C, is in hospital suffering from side-effects of her medication and a heavy promotional schedule, her representative has said.
The Grammy-winning daughter of jazz legend Nat King Cole has been in a New York City hospital since September 12 and is expected to remain there for at least a few days, according to publicist Maureen O'Connor of the firm Rogers & Cowan.
Cole, 58, announced in July that she was suffering from hepatitis C, a liver disease spread through contact with infected blood. She said at the time that the disease was revealed during a routine examination and was probably caused by her drug use years ago.
Ms O'Connor said Cole had been responding well to treatment, but blamed the medicine she has been taking and a busy publicity schedule to promote her new album, Still Unforgettable, with causing her problems.
Cole had recorded several TV appearances and had appeared live on NBC's Today show on September 11, a day before her admission to hospital.
