Poor Georgey!

"Faith" singer George Michael has postponed his shows in Cardiff this weekend and is being hospitalized for pneumonia.

"With great regret, George Michael has been forced to postpone his November 26 and 27 shows in Cardiff, Wales, due to his ongoing illness," his website read.

"George was recently forced to postpone tour dates in Vienna and Strasbourg under doctor's orders after being diagnosed with pneumonia," the statement continued. "He is currently receiving treatment."

Unfortunately, ill-health isn't anything new for Michael. The 48-year-old had to cancel his planned Vienna concert on Monday a mere two hours before showtime and was forced to cancel a date at London's Royal Albert Hall in October after his physician advised him to rest his voice due to a viral infection.

Here's to a speedy recovery!
