""My wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure everything was OK," he explained. "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.""
""The bad news is that now that the Christmas A Gift of Love concerts are over, I'm going into surgery to have the spot removed," the singer continued, revealing that he remains optimistic about the diagnosis due to its early detection. "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.""
A cancerous spot was found on Barry Manilow's left lung during an MRI performed after weeks of bronchitis. Surgery will remove the spot, and medical tests indicate the cancer likely has not spread. No chemotherapy or radiation is planned. Manilow expects a month of recovery before resuming performances, including a Westgate Las Vegas residency beginning around Valentine's weekend and concerts throughout 2026. January farewell U.S. tour dates have been postponed and rescheduled; existing ticketholders can use their tickets for the new 2026 dates.
