Barry Manilow Cancels Shows Due to Lung Cancer Treatment
22 Aug
Summary
- Singer Barry Manilow has canceled additional Las Vegas performances.
- He is undergoing treatment for lung cancer diagnosed last December.
- Manilow expressed gratitude for early detection and recovery progress.
Pop icon Barry Manilow has canceled additional performances of his "The Hits Come Home!" concert residency in Las Vegas. These cancellations follow a recent show that was cut short due to technical and vocal difficulties.
Manilow, 83, announced through his Instagram that Friday and Saturday night shows were canceled. His representatives cited "technical and vocal problems" as the reason, with refunds being automatically issued to ticket holders.
This news comes shortly after another performance in Lexington, Kentucky, was postponed hours before it was scheduled. These disruptions are linked to Manilow's ongoing recovery from lung cancer, a diagnosis he shared in December of the previous year.
He underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his left lung. Speaking about his health battle, Manilow described it as a "nightmare" but also a period of profound reflection on his life, career, and relationships, noting he was fortunate to avoid more intensive treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.
