Cab Calloway Stable After Having Surgery

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. — Swing musician and bandleader Cab Calloway, who collapsed during a show in Tokyo and underwent surgery in New York, was listed in critical but stable condition Wednesday.

Wendy Serkin, a White Plains Hospital spokeswoman, refused to discuss the nature of the surgery but said Calloway’s vital signs were stable. Calloway, 81, the “King of hi-de-ho,” collapsed from exhaustion during intermission at a Dec. 21 show and was taken to Tokyo Hospital, said his spokesman, Stan Scottland.
