LONDON: Luciano Pavarotti, regarded by many as the greatest operatic tenor of his generation, has undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer and is in a United States hospital recovering, his manager said on Friday.

The Italian singer, 70, has been forced to postpone a farewell tour until 2007.

Pavarotti was preparing to leave New York last week to perform at concerts in Britain when doctors readmitted him to hospital after the results of a routine medical test raised concern.

“Mr Pavarotti underwent a diagnostic evaluation and a malignant pancreatic mass was identified. Fortunately, the mass was able to be completely removed at surgery,” Terri Robson said.

“Mr Pavarotti remains under the care of a team of doctors in New York, and will undergo a course of treatment over the coming months,” she added.

The surgery is the latest setback for the tenor, who has been forced to cancel several dates on his marathon farewell tour this year due to illness including back complications.

Robson would not say what hospital was treating Pavarotti, and added only that he had undergone surgery “within the last seven days.”

“Pavarotti is recovering well and his physicians are encouraged by the physical and emotional resilience of their patient,” she said.

“As a result of Mr Pavarotti's forthcoming treatment, all remaining 2006 concerts have been cancelled. It is anticipated that tour plans will recommence in early 2007.”
