Barry Manilow Tour Dates Rescheduled After Emergency Surgery

Barry Manilow was rushed back to a Los Angeles hospital on Feb. 10 on following complications from oral surgery he had earlier this week.

"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," read a statement on the Manilow's Facebook page.

"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.' Manilow is currently on his One Last Time - One Last Tour throughout North America and the U.K."

Manilow's Thursday and Friday Nashville concerts are being rescheduled.

"Sorry everyone. Have to reschedule Highland Heights and Nashville. Details on Facebook," Manilow tweeted on Feb. 11.

Barry had hip surgery in 2011 and was forced to postpone tour dates. He revealed in 2011 that he suffers from the serious heart disease called atrial fibrillation.

Manilow is nominated for his 15th Grammy, but it is unclear whether he will still make an appearance at the awards show on Monday.

From 2005 to 2011, Barry Manilow played over 400 concerts at the Las Vegas Hilton and Paris Las Vegas. Since then Manilow has limited his concert appearances.

Barry Manilow has pulled in Grammy Awards, Tony Awards and Emmy Awards since his mega hit song, "Mandy," topped the charts in 1975.

Manilow's latest album, "My Dream Duets," was released on October 27 and debuted at #4 on the Billboard Charts. My Dream Duets is Manilow's 15th Top 10 album. Manilow used technology to record "dream" duets with his musical heroes from Judy Garland and Louis Armstrong to Whitney Houston and John Denver.

Barry Manilow is ranked as the top Adult Contemporary chart artist of all time with over 50 Top 40 hits.
