I don't think Manilow needs a comeback.

I'm a casual fan of him, and I'm just making fun of a bad facelift.

I am sorry he's sick and I hope he's well soon.

Comeback? The man has never stopped recording. All his albums since 2006 except the Christmas album peaked in the top 20. You either need to fall out of favor or disappear from the public eye to have a comeback. Manilow has done neither. He's been the ever-present American chipmunk for 40 years.

He had reduced his performances in Vegas and than stopped them altogether. He may not be ready to perform and obviously needs more rest.

He needs to officially come out.

With so much riding on this concert, you would of thought he would of invested $25 for a flu jab at Duane Reade.

Not to sound negative or cynical... but in the past when he cancelled in Vegas due to illness... word on the street was the real reason was because of low ticket sales.

Is he not out? I remember as far back as when "Mandy" was a hit, everyone said it was really "Manny."

Anyway, the guy doesn't need to perform ever again if he chooses. He's loaded.

Flu shots don't prevent bronchitis. They don't even always prevent the flu.

"Not to sound negative or cynical... but in the past when he cancelled in Vegas due to illness... word on the street was the real reason was because of low ticket sales."

Are you freakin' kiddin' me? Word is that he grossed $447,956 for only two previews. I don't have verification for that yet, but those two performances he did manage were very well attended and commanded high ticket prices.

And no, he doesn't need to come out. His private life is none of your business.

I think he does. How could he not come out by now? I could give a crap about his private life. But he should come out. And I have no idea how his box office is doing nor do I care. But tkts had some great 50% seats.

Your post is full of contradiction. You think he should be out but you don't care about his private life. Why then do you think he should be out? What's that to you?

You have no idea nor do you care what his box office is like, yet you suggest that he's faking an illness because of low ticket sales?

LIFE is also full of contradictions.

Theaternut - are you just using an old expression, or are you referencing The Addams Family? Ik it's an odd question, but I was wondering.
