In a statement the singer added: “It has been an extraordinary experience and, in many ways, extremely positive.

“I didn’t realise how many true friends I had. I feel so lucky and loved and thank everybody for all their good thoughts.”

The 59-year-old will kick off her world tour in Budapest in March 2007, reports BBC News.

The one-time girlfriend of Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger became a big star in her own right in the 1960s.

In the past she has battled a heroin addiction which caused her to have a nervous breakdown.
