The 72-year old, known for hits "Mandy", "Can't Smile Without
You", "Could It Be Magic" and "Copacabana", had performed a show
in Memphis on Wednesday as part of his "One Last Time - One Last
Tour". His next two concerts were canceled and are being
rescheduled.
"His doctors report that the surgery was successful and they
expect no further complications," said an emailed statement from
Manilow's publicist, adding that he had been instructed not to
talk or sing for the next 48 hours.
"Barry thanks everyone for their well wishes and concern," it
said.
On Thursday, a statement posted on the singer's website and
Facebook page said he had been rushed back to Los Angeles "due
to complications from emergency oral surgery that Manilow had on
Monday."
It also said it was not clear if Manilow, whose latest album "My
Dream Duets" is nominated for a Grammy Award, would attend
Monday's ceremony in Los Angeles.
