Barry Manilow's cancer battle has been 'agony' for this surprising reason
Barry Manilow postponed 13 arena shows after lung cancer surgery but his new single reached the top 10 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, extending his six-decade career.
- In a Reel on Tuesday, March 3, Barry Manilow, 82, said his cancer battle has been 'agony' because he cannot perform and he is getting stronger with good doctors and support.
- Following a follow-up MRI, doctors discovered a stage one cancerous tumor on his left lung that needs removal, and Manilow said it was 'pure luck' it was found early.
- His surgeon told him 'Barry, you won't be ready to do a 90 minute show,' warning Manilow he cannot sing more than three songs despite treadmill workouts.
- Manilow thanked Clive Davis, radio stations and fans as his new single 'Once Before I Go' entered the Top 10, extending his run across six decades on the charts.
- Rescheduling left his Feb. 27–March 17 dates altered, but the March 26 Vegas residency and April 13 UBS Arena remain listed, with performances expected to resume in June.
