Barry Manilow's Voice Recovery: 'Agony' of Waiting
29 Mar
Summary
- Singer Barry Manilow finds recovery from lung cancer surgery agonizingly slow.
- He struggles to sing a full 90-minute set due to breathing difficulties.
- Manilow has a history of multiple health issues, including pneumonia and tumors.
Barry Manilow, 82, has described the recovery from his recent lung cancer surgery as 'agony,' expressing frustration over the slow return of his voice and breathing. He is currently unable to complete a full 90-minute performance, though he is gradually improving. This health setback has resulted in the postponement of several tours and Las Vegas residency shows.
The singer discovered a cancerous spot on his left lung in December, following prolonged bouts of bronchitis. After a straightforward procedure to remove the tumor, he did not require further treatment. However, his recovery has been more challenging than anticipated.
Manilow has a documented history of overcoming various health issues over the years. These include bronchial pneumonia, a mouth tumor, heart problems, and hip surgery. He previously discussed trading heavy cigarette smoking for vaping over a decade ago, finding it beneficial for his health management.
