Barry Manilow has been rushed to hospital due to complications from “emergency oral surgery”.

The 72-year-old Copacabana singer was taken back to Los Angeles after a sold-out concert in Memphis.

A couple of his shows are being re-scheduled and it is not known whether he will be able to go to the Grammy Awards on Monday, according to his Facebook page.

The star has enjoyed a successful career spanning decades and including top 40 hits such as Mandy and Can’t Smile Without You.

In 2014, Barry Manilow married longtime partner Garry Kief in a small ceremony at Barry’s Palm Springs, California home in front of 20 or 30 guests.

A source said: “They are committed to one another and have been for a very long time. They have a great relationship. Garry has always been there for Barry.”

The source added: “He’s at a point now where he’s got his career and personal life in a great place and he really doesn’t care what people think. He’s in love and happy.”

Barry was married once before to Susan Deixler, but had the marriage annulled in 1966 after two years.
