American singer Barry Manilow, 82, has announced that he is again postponing his upcoming concerts after his last visit to his surgeon, which, he tells Instagram, “was very depressing.”
Manilow had already announced in early February that he had to delay his Las Vegas residency, originally scheduled for this month and now rescheduled for March, in order to recover from the lung cancer treatment he underwent.
“Hello everyone. I’m Barry. I just got home from the surgeon’s visit. It was a very depressing visit. I told him I had been using the tape three times a day, but still couldn’t sing more than three songs in a row before I had to stop,” the pop singer wrote on his Instagram profile.
When the performer asked his doctor if he could return to the stage in a few weeks, he got a sad answer: “He shook his head. He looked at me and then looked at the floor.
“Barry, you are not prepared to complete a 90-minute concert. Your lungs haven’t recovered yet. You are in a good situation considering all you have been through, but your body is not ready. You should not perform at the next scheduled concerts,” the specialist told him.
The singer of “Mandy” or “Copacabana” acknowledged in the statement his frustration with this situation and announced that his concerts scheduled for February 27 will be postponed until March 17, while his stay in Las Vegas could arrive in April.
Last December, Manilow announced that he would undergo surgery to remove “a cancerous spot” from his lung that was discovered after finishing a series of Christmas concerts, reported Agencia EFE.
