Meanwhile, the 'Famous' hitmaker - who cancelled all remaining dates of his 'Saint Pablo Tour' when he was in hospital - hasn't just been working on getting his private life in order, as he's also launched himself back into his work and has been "really pushing" for the chance to play the BRIT Awards in February.

A source said previously: "Kanye has made it known that he's available for the awards season. 

People are telling him to take it easy, but he's really pushing to play the Grammys and the BRITs next year.

"He's planning to bring his life 'Saint Pablo Tour' tour to the UK in 2017 anyway and the BRITs would be a great way to preview his floating stage."
