Barry Manilow underwent hip repair surgery in LA yesterday, to repair torn abductor muscles and remove fluid-filled sacs in his hips, which sounds painful.

The surgery came a day after Manilow completed a seven year run of shows in Las Vegas. He is expected to take a six week break to recover from the operation, before returning to the stage in Chicago in February.

Confirming the surgery, Manilow said in a statement: “That’s what you get when you jump around to ‘Copacabana’ for 30 years!”
