Randy Newman, the prolific Oscar-winning songwriter, has postponed a European tour as he recovers from surgery to repair a broken neck.Newman, who had a smash hit with the 1977 single “Short People,” shared news of his injury and surgery on his website today, maintaining the sense of humor that informs so much of his musical catalog.“Recently, I noticed I was shrinking,” Newman writes. “People over whom I had towered now towered over me.
Could this be payback for having written Short People? Turns out, my neck was broken.“They operated on me successfully, I think,” he continues. “For even now, I look less like an anteater and more like a folk rock artist from the early sixties.
But the doctor said I’m not quite ready to tour. I was really looking forward to coming to Europe to perform. I miss performing a great deal and I look forward to a time when I can come.
I’m sorry I won’t see you this time but I will see you soon.”Newman did not disclose details surrounding the circumstances of his injury.The European tour, titled “An Evening With Randy Newman,” had been set to begin this month.
