In a March 22, 2012 interview with Rolling Stone, Barry Manilow said he had performed six shows while recovering from surgery to reattach muscles torn away from both hips. He described recovery as slow and said he was moved to a wheelchair after each show. The interview is a historical account—not an update on his health or touring today.
What surgery did Barry Manilow describe?
Manilow said the operation was not a hip replacement. He described surgeons pulling muscles torn away from both hips back into place and fastening them to his hips. He said a procedure expected to take two hours lasted seven. Those details are his account in the interview, not independently verified medical records.

Asked about recovery, he said: “It’s coming back slowly – too slowly for me.”
How did he keep performing during recovery?
Manilow said he had completed six shows even though he did not feel ready. He described being moved to a wheelchair after each performance. The interview conveys his experience at that time; it is not medical advice and does not establish what recovery or performance would be like for someone else.

What was different about the 2012 show?
Manilow described the schedule as about two weekends of performances per month, rather than a full tour in the usual sense. He said the dates took him to cities he had not played in for some time.
He also contrasted this production with his larger shows. He called it “the smallest show I’ve ever done,” describing a small band and a piano instead of a large orchestra and more expansive production. He said the pared-back format gave him more freedom to change the set list. These are details about the 2012 production, not his current touring arrangements.
