Barry Manilow has announced he is undergoing surgery to remove a “cancerous spot” on his lung. As a result of the lung cancer surgery, his January farewell US tour dates have been postponed.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Manilow explained that the spot was discovered during a check-up following several weeks of bronchitis. “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.”
