Barry Manilow

The 70s gave the music industry what the Rolling Stone magazine called “the voice that represents our generation.” And indeed, singer Barry Manilow’s influence is still strong to this day. Manilow is an icon for all Americans, even down to his suit, which inspired late director John Hughes to create the iconic suit for the school principal in the classic film, The Breakfast Club.

What you probably don’t know about this legendary artist is that he’s been through a number of aesthetic surgeries, including a rhinoplasty. The singer was displaying difficulties in his performance due to a deviated septum. The surgery solved it, and in turn, not only improved his breathing, but his singing as well.
