Burt Bacharach postpones shows after surgery

LOS ANGELES (AP) - January 4, 2010

Publicist Linda Dozoretz says the 81-year-old singer is recovering at a hospital after the New Year's Eve surgery.

Dozoretz says Bacharach's prognosis is excellent, but he will need to postpone scheduled concerts through mid-March.

Performances in Australia, New Zealand and Palm Beach, Fla., will be rescheduled for later in this year or early next year.

Bacharach most recently performed on Dec. 19 in Italy.
