Barry Manilow Reschedules Shows Following Oral Surgery Complications
He may not attend Monday's Grammy Awards.
— -- Legendary singer Barry Manilow was rushed back to Los Angeles on Thursday following complications from oral surgery he had earlier this week.
According to the 72-year-old's official website and Facebook page, Manilow performed a show in Memphis this week but will be rescheduling future concerts for medical reasons. For this reason, he might miss the Grammy Awards on Monday night.
"Following a triumphant sold out concert in Memphis, Barry Manilow was rushed back to Los Angeles due to complications from emergency oral surgery that Manilow had on Monday," a statement posted Thursday on the singer's page said. "At this time it is unclear if Manilow will be able to attend the Grammy Awards on Monday, February 15th where he is nominated for his 15th Grammy Award for his latest album, 'My Dream Duets,'" the statement continued. "Manilow is currently on his One Last Time - One Last Tour throughout North America and the U.K."
The "Copacabana" and "Mandy" singer told Billboard last year that this tour is his last.
"It's 40 years -- more than that, really -- of packing and waiting for room service. People think it's glamorous, but glamorous is the last word I would use for this job," he told Billboard about his farewell tour.
