Burt Bacharach cancels 2 concerts to recover from broken arm

Burt Bacharach is cancelling two September concerts to recover from a broken arm.

A spokeswoman for the 88-year-old composer and conductor said on Tuesday that Bacharach will skip scheduled performances on September 3 in Curacao and September 17 in Lancaster, California. Publicist Tina Brausam said Bacharach plans to resume his touring schedule in October.

She said she did not know how or when the six-time Grammy winner broke his arm.
