Almond confident of recovery

Singer Marc Almond is confident of making a full recovery following a motorcycle crash that left him in intensive care last month.

The Tainted Love star is currently resting up in the Royal London Hospital, and has been encouraged by the outpouring of public support for his well-being.

A message on Almond's website says the singer "is confident he will get back to full health eventually, though he realises it is going to take time.

"He is overwhelmed by the amount of support shown and says it has been a big help."

Almond was injured while he was riding pillion on a motorbike that collided with a car in central London. He had emergency surgery after the accident and his fans have been bombarding his home page with messages of support.
