Natalie Cole is recuperating after a successful kidney transplant, it has emerged.

The daughter of late jazz musician Nat King Cole received the kidney from a deceased organ donor, her spokeswoman said yesterday.

She added that Cole will have to rest for the next three to four months and must postpone her planned summer tour.

Cole previously received a number of offers from members of the public wishing to donate her a kidney after she appeared on Larry King Live.

The singer has been on dialysis three times a week since last September when both her kidneys failed following treatment for hepatitis C.
