Collins was recovering from a life-saving operation in February following two brain hemorrhages, when the disease infected a surgical scar.
But his wife, Grace Maxwell, said Thursday 45-year-old Collins had since battled back and delighted doctors at Royal Free Hospital in north London with his progress.
She denied reports that the Scot, best known for his 1995 solo hit A Girl Like You and 1983's Rip It Up with his band Orange Juice, was fighting for his life.

Edwyn is still in the Royal Free. This infection has been very difficult to get under control, although I'm hopeful we're turning the corner. In spite of having missed out on weeks of valuable rehab time, he continues to feel quite well in himself and is working as hard as he can in the circumstances. So he continues to progress at a pace. Thanks for keeping him in your thoughts, love Grace.
