Barry Manilow Says He’s ‘Better Today’ in Hospital Update After Lung Cancer Diagnosis

Doctors report an early left-lung cancer to be treated with surgery only.

Overview

  • The 82-year-old posted a smiling selfie from what appears to be a hospital bed with the caption “Better today!”
  • He disclosed on Dec. 22 that an MRI, ordered after a prolonged bout of bronchitis, found a small cancerous spot on his left lung.
  • His doctors do not believe the cancer has spread, and he said follow-up tests are underway to confirm that assessment.
  • He has postponed his January arena concerts and expects to resume shows in late February after surgery and recovery.
  • He said chemotherapy and radiation are not expected as part of his treatment plan.
