Barry Manilow undergoes muscle repair surgery right after his last Las Vegas show.
Legendary crooner Barry Manilow underwent hip muscle repair surgery on Monday (12.12.11). The entertainer has been suffering from the painful condition for a while, and was reportedly hospitalized for surgery to remove fluid and repair torn muscles in his hip.
Barry Manilow, 68, waited until he performed his 1,000th Las Vegas concert and ended his seven-year run at two resorts there before having the repair surgery.
“That’s what you get when you jump around to Copacabana for 30 years.Wish me luck!”-referring to his best known song, the crooner said.
Barry Manilow’s spokeswoman Annie Jeeves confirmed that the Grammy winner had the muscle repair surgery at a Los Angeles hospital a day after he ended his seven-year run at the Las Vegas Hilton and the Paris Resort on Sunday. The singer is taking six weeks off to mend after the procedure and is scheduled to hit the stage once again on February 2 at the Chicago Theater.
