Moby has 'celebrated' the fact that he has the flu.

The singer admitted that getting ill meant that he could have a break from constantly working.

"With the flu, I get to cancel everything on my schedule and lie in bed. It's sort of like a mini-vacation, albeit one attended by fever and aches and general disgustingness," he wrote on his website.

The star added that he hopes to be well enough to attend the inauguration ceremony of President-elect Barack Obama.

"I'm headed to D.C. in a few days for the inauguration, and hopefully Mr. Flu will have abated by then."
