Barry Manilow, 82, Diagnosed With Early Lung Cancer, Postpones January Shows

Early detection led doctors to plan surgery only, with no chemotherapy or radiation at this time.

Overview

  • The cancerous spot was discovered after weeks of bronchitis when his physician ordered an MRI.
  • Representatives said it is a stage-one, localized tumor and doctors do not believe it has spread.
  • Surgery to remove the lesion is scheduled for late December, with a month of recovery in January.
  • Roughly 10 concerts planned for January across Florida, the Carolinas, Georgia and Ohio will be moved to February or later.
  • Performances are slated to resume Feb. 12–14 at Westgate Las Vegas, followed by larger shows beginning Feb. 28 in Tampa.
