Barry Manilow Postpones Shows as Cancer Recovery Continues
Barry Manilow reveals his lungs aren’t ready and doctors urge patience, delaying tour dates as he continues cancer recovery.
Barry Manilow has postponed additional tour dates as he continues treatment for cancer. He wrote on Instagram, "Deep down, I wanted to go back - but my body knew what my heart didn't want to admit: I wasn't ready." The singer emphasized that his health must come first as he works toward a full recovery.
Doctors have ordered a slower pace, with the surgeon describing the plan to extend the recovery period as a "very depressing" development. The postponements affect roughly three weeks’ worth of arena dates, underscoring the toll of his cancer treatment on his touring schedule.
Previously, Manilow had aimed to be back on the road within a week, but the new medical guidance has shifted those plans. He had cancer treatment earlier this month, and his team has not announced new dates yet. Fans have offered support as he focuses on healing and regaining strength.
