Christmas is Barry Manilow’s time of the year, so for him to cancel his holiday concerts, there has to be an important reason. Sadly, there is.
The singer dealt with two bouts of long-term bronchitis recently, and his doctors decided to do an MRI to see if there was anything else going on. That is when they discovered a cancerous spot on his left lung.
They have recommended that the 82-year-old undergo immediate surgery to remove it, and they are hopeful that it has not spread because it was caught early.
However, he will need a month to recuperate. Therefore, he will be postponing his January dates and is hoping to be back for his Valentine’s shows.
Manilow ended his statement by reminding people to get tested at the slightest symptoms. By doing so, it could save your life, like it is his.
Let’s pray that everything goes smoothly for Barry and that he is back doing what he loves: entertaining audiences with his music!
