Barry Manilow Postpones February Westgate Las Vegas Residency Following Cancer Treatment
Singer says he is recovering well and will return to Las Vegas in March.
Following treatment for stage-one lung cancer, Barry Manilow has postponed his February residency dates at Westgate Las Vegas on the advice of his doctors. The engagement, originally scheduled for February 12–21, has been delayed so the singer can focus on recovery after surgery.
In a statement, Manilow said he is “doing great” and “recovering well,” but shared that postponing the shows was recommended as part of his healing process.
Tickets for the postponed Las Vegas performances will be fully refundable. Manilow is now scheduled to return to Westgate Las Vegas March 26–28.
The singer remains set to launch his upcoming arena tour on February 27 at Tampa’s Benchmark International Arena, with dates scheduled through the end of April.
Last month, Manilow also rescheduled January tour dates for March and April and shared that new music is forthcoming.
“I’ve been getting exercise and spending some time in the studio, which has been fantastic,” Manilow said. “With my doctor’s guidance and recommendation, however, we have decided to postpone my residency dates … so I can stay focused on healing and getting ready for the tour that’s kicking off at the end of February.”
Manilow previously revealed in December that he was undergoing treatment for a cancerous spot on his lung, which was discovered after he experienced prolonged bronchitis following a run of Christmas concerts. He later underwent surgery.
