Former East 17 singer Brian Harvey has been released from hospital and is on the road to recovery, according to girlfriend Emma B.
The singer has been in hospital since receiving severe abdominal injuries when he fell under the wheels on his own car seven weeks ago.
Emma B told OK! Magazine that she was now caring for him at her home. "He can't walk because he broke his pelvis in seven places," she said.
"He has a metal crossbar that sticks out of his pelvis which he's got to have on for 12 weeks. The ribs he broke are still quite sore but all the other injuries have mainly healed."
Harvey will have the metal bar removed from his pelvis at the end of August but will be confined to a wheelchair until he has enough physiotherapy to help him to walk again.
According to Emma B, doctors told Harvey that it is a miracle that he survived the accident, in which he sustained severe stomach, lung and leg injuries.
Harvey has previously suffered from depression but his girlfriend dismissed suggestions that the accident may have been a suicide attempt. "Right now I wouldn't say he was suffering with depression. He feels lucky to be alive - he wants to live and be with me," she said.
