Opera star Domingo to undergo surgery
Opera star PLACIDO DOMINGO will undergo surgery this week (ends28Feb10) after suffering abdominal pains during a recent performance in Tokyo, Japan.
The Spanish tenor, 69, has been forced to put his world tour on hold after doubling over in pain during his performance on 13 February (10).
On Monday (22Feb10), Domingo's publicist Nancy Seltzer confirmed he will undergo the "medically recommended preventive surgery" at a New York hospital.
But she is confident Domingo will be back on the road within six weeks after a brief recuperation period.
Further details about Domingo's condition were unknown as WENN went to press.
