Overview

  • The 82-year-old singer said an MRI ordered after weeks of bronchitis revealed a cancerous spot that needs to be removed.
  • Representatives characterized the lesion as stage one, and doctors do not believe the cancer has spread.
  • January U.S. dates are being rescheduled, with a planned return over Valentine’s weekend at Westgate Las Vegas and arena shows shifting to late February through April.
  • No chemotherapy or radiation is planned as part of the current treatment, with about a month of recovery expected after surgery.
  • Coverage varies on which lung is affected, while Manilow’s statement stresses the value of early detection and urges people to get checked if they have symptoms.
