Barry Manilow has postponed his February performances in Las Vegas to focus on recovery following lung cancer surgery, the singer announced Wednesday. The news comes after Manilow revealed his diagnosis last year, assuring fans at the time that doctors considered it treatable.
Manilow, a beloved figure in pop music for nearly six decades, wrote on Facebook that he’s “doing great” and recovering well from the procedure. He’s even been able to get back to doing what he loves: “I’m exercising and spending time in the studio, which is fantastic.”
However, following his doctor’s recommendations, Manilow has decided to move his shows at the Westgate Las Vegas from February 12th to February 21st. “We decided to move my Westgate Las Vegas dates from February 12th to the 21st so I can focus on healing and preparing for my upcoming arena tour, which begins later in February,” he explained.
Barry Manilow, born Barry Alan Pincus, launched his music career in 1964 and has since released thirty-one studio albums. He’s known for iconic hits like “Mandy,” “Could It Be Magic,” “Looks Like We Made It,” and “I Write the Songs,” cementing his status as a staple of the American pop landscape. This postponement underscores the importance of prioritizing health even amidst a demanding performance schedule.
