Barry Manilow, 83, has recently canceled two scheduled performances in his Las Vegas residency. The shows on August 21 and August 22, 2026, at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino were called off due to technical and vocal difficulties. Manilow expressed his apologies for the cancellations.
This follows another postponement earlier in August 2026, when his concert in Lexington, Kentucky, scheduled for August 4, was rescheduled. The reason provided at the time was "unforeseen circumstances."
In March 2026, it was revealed that Manilow had undergone treatment for lung cancer. The diagnosis came after he visited a doctor for hip pain and subsequently had an MRI which detected a spot on his lung. He described the experience as life-changing.
Manilow is next slated to perform at his Las Vegas residency on August 27, 2026. He has shared reflections on his health journey, emphasizing its impact on his perspective on life and music.
