Ailing Natalie Cole – who suffers from Hepatitis C – is out of hospital and resting in bed at home, her spokeswoman told Entertainment Tonight on Thursday.
The 58-year-old singer cancelled her October tour dates and cleared her schedule after being hospitalized in New York in September.
“She is back at home and she seems to be doing pretty well,” said a rep for the Grammy winner. “The Hepatitis C is pretty much under control.”
The daughter of legendary singer Nat King Cole confirmed in July that she had been diagnosed with the liver disease, saying she probably contracted it from drug use more than 30 years ago.
According to the rep, Cole is considering resuming some of her touring schedule in November.

Singer Natalie Cole has been checked into a NYC hospital since last Friday, a source tells Usmagazine.com.
In July, Cole announced she has hepatitis C.
“She was doing press in New York last week when she got really sick due to chemotherapy she was undergoing to treat her hepatitis,” the source explains. “She got anemia from the treatment.”
The 58-year-old jazz and R&B singer-songwriter – daughter of Nat King Cole – has won eight Grammy Awards over her career.
Cole wrote about her struggles with drug abuse in her 2000 autobiography Angel on My Shoulder. She admitted to using LSD, heroin and cocaine.
“I’ve been so fortunate to have learned so much from my past experiences,” Cole said in a statement in July about her diagnosis. “I am embraced by the love and support of my family and friends; I am committed to my belief in myself and in my abiding faith to meet this challenge with a heartfelt optimism and determination. This is how I intend to deal with this current challenge in my life.”
In February, Cole slammed the Grammy Awards for honoring Amy Winehouse.
“It’s a slap in the face to musicians and artists who work very hard that they turn around and give it to someone who really obviously doesn’t have a grasp of what she has,” she said. “I’ve been in this business over 25 years and I sacrificed five years of my own life on drugs and almost lost my life because of it.”
News of Cole’s hospitalization was first reported by ET.

Natalie Cole has been diagnosed with Hepatitis C, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The Grammy Award winning singer discovered she had the disease during a routine visit to the doctor, but is responding well to treatment.
“Natalie has had a terrific response to her medication and is now virus negative,” Dr. Graham Woolf, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at U.C.L.A./Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, said in a statement. “This gives her an increased chance of cure.” Still, Cole has suffered side effects from the anti-viral medicine, including fatigue, muscle aches and dehydration, but, “she is recovering from these,” Woolf said.
Doctors believe that Cole’s illness is likely the result of drug usage decades ago, which she documented her 2000 autobiography, Angel On My Shoulder.
“I’ve been so fortunate to have learned so much from my past experiences,” said Cole. “I am embraced by the love and support of my family and friends; I am committed to my belief in myself and in my abiding faith to meet this challenge with a heartfelt optimism and determination. This is how I intend to deal with this current challenge in my life.”
Cole is expected to release her latest album, Still Unforgettable on Sept. 9.
