“As many of you know, I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks,” he posted. “Even though I was over the bronchitis and back on stage at the Westgate Las Vegas, my wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everything was OK. The MRI discovered a cancerous spot on my left lung that needs to be removed.”

“It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early,” Manilow added. “That’s the good news.”

Barry Manilow explained that the “bad news” is that his upcoming surgery to remove the spot will force him to pause performances, sidelining him from his scheduled January concerts.
