Placido Domingo has cancer surgery

The tenor was "discharged... from Mount Sinai hospital in New York city after undergoing laparoscopic surgery to successfully remove a localized malignant polyp in his colon," Seltzer said in a statement.
"His exact return to his performing engagements remains subject to how fast he can heal and regain his characteristic strength," she said.
"It is, however, anticipated that his first singing performance will be in 'Simon Boccanegra' at La Scala on April 16."
