Music News: Barry Manilow Diagnosed With Lung Cancer
Barry Manilow has been diagnosed with lung cancer.
The Copacabana singer announced on Instagram on Monday that doctors had found a “cancerous spot†in his left lung, and he had to undergo surgery to get it removed.
“As many of you know, I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks,†the 82-year-old wrote. “Even though I was over the bronchitis and back on stage at the Westgate Las Vegas, my wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everything was OK. 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. That’s the good news.â€
Manilow explained that he was preparing to undergo surgery soon, as he concluded his annual Christmas: A Gift of Love charity concert series on Sunday.
“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 continued. “The only follow-up is a month to recover and that means we have to reschedule the January arena concerts.â€
He then assured them that he will be back performing at his “home away from home†at the Westgate Las Vegas on Valentine’s Day weekend.
“Something tells me that February weekend is going to be one big party!†he added, concluding his statement on a positive note.
