At the end of last year, Barry Manilow, 83, was diagnosed with lung cancer. Thankfully, it was in the early stages, and he was able to beat it. However, it took a toll on his body and his voice. Therefore, he was forced to postpone his tour several times. Finally, this summer, he was able to play some dates.
Now, the singer is home in Las Vegas, and he was supposed to play some dates at Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino this weekend and in September. But he announced today that those dates are not going to happen.
Hi everybody – Barry here.
And I want you to be the first to know that we’re going to take a quick break.
We just finished a fantastic summer tour.
29 shows in 68 days.
The shows were fantastic.
The audiences were fantastic.
And I sounded fantastic.
But it seems that we were pushing a little too hard.
Now we all need to sit down and shut up.
So, we’re going to take a break until we return to the Westgate Las Vegas on October 8th.
When I’ll be singing like a bird.
I hope to see you then.
* New Westgate concert dates will be announced next week.
Hopefully, he will be chirping by then, and in time for his Christmas shows that he and his fans enjoy so much.
