The original lead singer of disco-era band the Village People, Victor Willis, was released from a San Diego hospital on Monday after vocal cord surgery and said he could resume singing within months.
Willis, who originally dressed as a policeman, wrote and sang hits such as “Y.M.C.A” and “Macho Man,” but he left the group in 1980. He returned only for a short time between 1982 and 1984, and since then has pursued a solo career.
“I feel great and look forward to performing before the end of the year, but I can’t say for sure,” Willis said in a statement after his release from the hospital after the operation to remove nodules from his vocal cords was performed.
His doctors have told him he cannot sing for 90 days, but he has resumed talking, and his speaking voice “sounds almost normal,” his spokeswoman Linda Smith, said.
The Village People originally formed in 1977, and the group has sold more than 80 million albums and singles.
