Natalie Cole is the recipient of a brand new kidney, according to an announcement Wednesday from her reps.

The 59-year-old singer underwent successful kidney transplant surgery, her camp stated without any further details at press time.

Cole will reportedly postpone her summer tour as she recovers.

The daughter of the late Nat King Cole has been receiving dialysis three times a week since September. She still continued her concert tour in support of her latest album, “Still Unforgettable.”      

The Grammy-winner announced she was diagnosed with hepatitis C in February 2008. Her kidneys failed after treatment and she had since been seeking a donor.
