Barry Manilow Announces Early Lung Cancer, Plans Late-December Surgery

The 82-year-old expects a month-long recovery with no chemo or radiation and aims to resume his Las Vegas residency on Valentine’s weekend.

Overview

  • An MRI ordered after prolonged bronchitis found a cancerous spot on his left lung, which representatives describe as stage one and not believed to have spread.
  • He is scheduled for surgery in late December and is undergoing tests to confirm doctors’ assessment that it has not spread.
  • January arena dates across Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Ohio have been moved to late February through April.
  • Ticket holders for the January shows can use their existing tickets for the rescheduled dates.
  • He plans to return with Feb. 12–14 performances at Westgate Las Vegas and urged fans to get checked if they notice symptoms.
