Singer Barry Manilow has been admitted to hospital following emergency oral surgery earlier this week.

The 72-year-old Copacabana legend, who is on his farewell tour, underwent surgery on Monday but has now been forced to postpone dates as he receives further treatment.

A statement released by his publicist said: "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.

"At this time, it is unclear if Manilow will be able to attend the Grammy Awards on Monday, Feb. 15, where he is nominated for his 15th Grammy Award for his latest album, My Dream Duets."

The statement said that Manilow's postponed shows in Highland Heights, Ohio and Nashville, Tennessee would be rescheduled.

The tour is due to end at London's O2 Arena in June.
