Singer George Michael has shut down his website and replaced the content with a close red curtain but plans to release new music next year.
The 'Careless Whisper' hitmaker has removed all content from georgemichael.Com, including official merchandise, leaving fans worried about the star's health.
The site's home page now features a closed red curtain but his representatives say there is, "Exciting news coming in 2014", reported Contactmusic.
Michael, 50, suffered injuries after a near fatal car crash in May when he fell out the passenger seat of a Range Rover on a busy M1 motorway near St Albans, close to London.
The star, who has also previously battled pneumonia, was airlifted to hospital, where he remained for two weeks - after suffering head injuries, cuts and bruises.
Despite his health problems, Michael signed a huge record deal with Universal Music last year but is yet to release a new album to follow his 2004 record 'Patience'.
He brought out a Greatest Hits album 'Twenty Five' which debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart in 2006 and hopes to record new music very soon.
