Five months after being admitted to hospital for a chest infection at the end of December, Stirling Moss has finally returned home and is now on the path to recovery. He spent a total of 134 days in the hospital.
The legendary retired driver was admitted to a Singapore hospital on December 22 while on holiday with his wife. The 87 year old had a serious chest infection. The news was successfully hidden from the media, until his family issued a statement nearly a month later. Eventually, Moss was transported to a London hospital in the UK, where he has remained until just recently.
A statement on Moss’ website read:
“He still has a substantial amount of recovery to undertake but says that he has determination and a great pit crew.
He and Lady Moss are enormously grateful to the medical staff, both here and abroad, who worked so tirelessly to make all this possible.
They also want to thank, from the bottom of their hearts, all the family, friends and fans for their love and support. It has been overwhelming and given them a lot of strength, smiles and hope.
For now, they are looking forward to just lying back on their pillows in their bedroom and watching the Spanish Grand Prix.”
