ROME (AFP) — The hospital treating Italian tenor Luciano Pavarotti, who was admitted with a fever almost two weeks ago, said Monday he will be kept in for a few more days for more tests.

The hospital in the northern Italian city of Modena, the 71-year-old opera singer's hometown, said in a statement that doctors would conduct several "basic pathological tests" once Pavarotti's fever went down.

These "may continue for several more days", it said, without giving further details.
