Overview
- Late on Tuesday night, Manilow posted a brief social-media message saying the Rupp Arena show in Lexington was “rescheduled” about 41–45 minutes before the 7 p.m. start time.
- Rupp Arena issued its own statement confirming the postponement and said all previously purchased tickets will be honored once a new date is announced.
- This was the second time the Lexington stop had been moved after an earlier March postponement that followed Manilow’s December disclosure of a stage 1 lung cancer diagnosis and subsequent surgery.
- Manilow’s team and representatives have not provided further details about the cause of the late postponement, and he remained listed for the next tour date in Cincinnati the following day.
- Fans who had already traveled to the arena reported frustration and concern, and promoters now face added logistical work to reschedule the show and manage ticketing for the rest of the farewell tour.
