Andrew Lloyd back in hospital with post-operation infection

London: Andrew Lloyd Webber, the composer of the internationally successful Bollywood musical `Bombay Dreams` has been re-admitted to the hospital after suffering a major setback in his battle against prostate cancer.The 61-year-old British composer who has worked with Oscar-winning Indian musician AR Rahman, was said to have developed a post-operative infection following surgery to remove his prostate three weeks ago, reported Daily Mail online.
"Andrew has been re-admitted to hospital following his operation for prostate cancer. He has been advised that while the operation was entirely successful, he has developed a post-operative `chronic infection` which needs immediate treatment," said a statement posted on Webber`s website. He was taken to a hospital in London, where he is likely to remain for two or three days while he is treated. The composer was initially said to be keen to explore alternative therapies after discovering he had the disease last month, but changed his mind after being told he had a `100 per cent chance` of a full recovery if he had the operation. Webber had hoped to be back at work in time to start rehearsals for his new show, `Love Never Dies`, which are due to begin in January. Lloyd Webber is one of the most prolific composers, and is best known for `Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat`, `Jesus Christ Superstar`, `Evita`, `Starlight Express` and `The Phantom of the Opera`.
