Barry Manilow has announced the cancellation and rescheduling of several January concert dates after doctors discovered a cancerous spot on his left lung that will be surgically removed. The news follows a stretch of health challenges that included prolonged bronchitis and came shortly after Manilow completed five annual Christmas charity concerts at the McCallum Theatre in Palm Desert, raising millions for Coachella Valley nonprofits. An MRI ordered as a precaution led to the discovery, which Manilow shared was caught early, with doctors believing it has not spread and will not require chemotherapy or radiation.
Manilow will take approximately one month to recover following surgery, prompting the January arena dates to move to later in 2026. He confirmed plans to return to the stage for Valentine’s weekend concerts at the Westgate Las Vegas on February 12, 13, and 14, followed by rescheduled tour stops through spring. Ticket holders for the affected January shows can use their existing tickets for the new dates. Manilow also encouraged fans to be proactive about their health and seek medical testing even for mild symptoms.
