Barry Manilow

The fact that (after several facelifts) he looks a bit like one of the gelflings from the Jim Henson film 'The Dark Crystal' hasn't stopped the man born Barry Pincus from remaining a huge live draw.

Now free to roam after a seven-year Vegas residency, Manilow stops off in London on his latest tour.
