Barry Manilow Sets Rescheduled Tour Dates Month After Revealing Cancer Diagnosis
Less than a month after revealing a diagnosis of stage-one lung cancer, Barry Manilow has rescheduled the concert dates he’d postponed.
On an Instagram post labeled “SURPRISE!,” Manilow unveiled six tour dates – Charlotte, Norfolk, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Nashville, and Lexington – for March, and now the singer has posted additional dates in April. The March and April tour stops are the rescheduled dates from January.
Manilow recently underwent surgery that the “Mandy” singer describes as having “went well.” Previously announced as his farewell tour – the dates are billed on his website as “The Last Concerts” – Manilow’s Instagram post reads, “Years from now, when you look back on these dates, you’ll want to know you were there to say goodbye.”
On December 22, Manilow wrote on Instagram that an 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. That’s the good news. The bad news is that now that the Christmas Gift Of Love concerts are over I’m going into surgery to have the spot removed. The doctors do not believe it has spread and I’m taking tests to confirm their diagnosis. So that’s it. No chemo. No radiation. Just chicken soup and I Love Lucy reruns.”
