Barry Manilow, the beloved singer, recently shared some personal health news with his fans. It all started with a bad case of bronchitis that just wouldn't quit. After weeks of dealing with this illness, his doctor decided to run some tests to make sure everything was okay. That's when they found a small cancerous spot on his left lung. The good news is that it was caught early, thanks to his doctor's careful attention.
Manilow, who is now 82 years old, had to push back some of his upcoming concerts so he can have surgery to remove the spot. He's optimistic about the situation, saying that he won't need any chemotherapy or radiation. Instead, he's planning on relaxing with some chicken soup and classic TV shows while he recovers.
This isn't the first time Manilow has had to deal with health issues affecting his schedule. In 2013, he also had to reschedule shows due to bronchitis. And back in 2011, he revealed that he has a heart condition called atrial fibrillation, which he's had for quite some time.
Fans have been quick to show their support, sending well wishes and expressing their concern for his well-being. The rescheduled concerts are set to take place from late February through April, giving Manilow plenty of time to recover and get back on stage.
It's a reminder that even the most talented among us can face health challenges. But with early detection and a positive attitude, it's possible to overcome them. Manilow's fans are hoping for a speedy recovery and can't wait to see him perform again.
