Wayne Newton’s return to the Strip has been delayed. And it is possible Mr. Las Vegas will not perform at all in his home city this year.
Newton has postponed his “Wayne Newton: Up Close and Personal” relaunch at the Flamingo, which had been set for Oct. 23, with no return dates specified. Newton cited chronic back pain from an injury and surgery late this summer. The Vegas icon underwent an operation on his back in August, after falling at his Montana ranch.
“Due to my recent back injury, we will be temporarily postponing the launch of our new show at the Flamingo,” the 79-year-old Newton said in a statement.
