Although he can say “I Write the Songs that make the whole world sing”, music icon Barry Manilow is singing a different tune today.
At Daybreak, the 68 year old crooner will undergo surgery for bursitis in his hips and to repair torn leg muscles. Apparently the I Don’t Want to Walk Without You singer didn’t want to walk at all because of the pain.
Even Now, when I think about all those nights he spent doing the Bandstand Boogie at the Copacabana, It’s a Miracle the man can move at all.

This isn’t the first surgery Manilow has had on his hips. In 2006, he tore the cartilage in both hips and had arthroscopic surgery Tryin` to Get The Feeling Again. Despite the fact that post-op he had to do his show sitting in a golden wheelchair, Manilow is Willing to Take A Chance Again, and have his hips worked on.
What is Bursitis?
A bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that protects and cushions your joints. Bursae are found throughout the body.
Bursitis means inflammation of one of your bursa sacs. The inflammation may result from arthritis in the joint or injury or infection of a bursa. Bursitis produces pain and tenderness and may limit the movement of nearby joints.
You can get bursitis in your shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, heels and big toe. Injuries, overuse and repetitive stress are common causes of bursitis. Certain diseases, such as arthritis and gout might also cause it.
Get well soon Barry, you know I Can’t Smile Without You!
