     *Victor Willis, former lead singer of the 70s disco band the Village People, had successful surgery on his vocal cords and has returned home from a San Diego hospital, reports Reuters.

        "I feel great and look forward to performing before the end of the year, but I can't say for sure," said Willis, who dressed up as a cop in popular singing group and wrote and sang hits such as "Y.M.C.A" and "Macho Man."

      Upon his release Monday, doctors ordered him not to sing for 90 days, but he has resumed talking, and his speaking voice "sounds almost normal," his spokeswoman Linda Smith, said.    

      Willis left the Village People in 1980. He returned only for a short time between 1982 and 1984, and since then has pursued a solo career. The group originally formed in 1977, and has sold more than 80 million albums and singles.
