""As many of you know I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks," he wrote. "My wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everything was OK." The MRI revealed a "cancerous spot" on his left lung that will require surgical removal, he wrote. Though he added that it's "pure luck" and "good news" that doctors discovered the spot so early."
""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," he wrote. He said that he will physically recover over January and plans on resuming his live performances in February, writing, "Something tells me that [Valentine's] weekend is going to be one big party!""
Barry Manilow, 82, has a cancerous spot on his left lung detected by MRI after prolonged bronchitis and relapse. Surgical removal of the spot is planned, with doctors believing it has not spread and no chemotherapy or radiation currently planned. The singer canceled the remainder of his seasonal "Christmas: A Gift of Love" concerts, which raise money for charities, and expects to physically recover during January. Manilow plans to resume live performances in February, targeting Valentine's weekend. Manilow publicly came out in 2017 at age 73 and married longtime partner Garry Kief; industry pressures kept him closeted for decades.
