Barry Manilow postpones Las Vegas residency following cancer surgery

Barry Manilow has postponed his upcoming Las Vegas residency dates to recover from his recent cancer surgery.

The Copacabana hitmaker was forced to postpone his January arena shows to allow him to recover from surgery to remove a "cancerous spot" on his left lung in December.

When he revealed his lung cancer diagnosis, Manilow assured his fans that he would be back performing at his "home away from home" at the Westgate Las Vegas on Valentine's Day weekend.

However, in an update on Wednesday, the 82-year-old announced that he had to reschedule his February residency shows to ensure he was well enough for his upcoming arena tour.

"I'm doing great and recovering very well after my surgery. I've been getting exercise and spending some time in the studio, which has been fantastic," he wrote on Instagram.

"With my doctor's guidance and recommendation, however, we have decided to postpone my residency dates at Westgate Las Vegas from February 12-21 so I can stay focused on healing and getting ready for the tour that's kicking off at the end of February."

Manilow added, "Having a few weeks to rest and prepare is what the doctor ordered!"

Tickets for the postponed Las Vegas dates will be refunded.

Manilow's rescheduled arena tour is set to launch in Tampa, Florida on 27 February and run through to his show in Duluth, Georgia on 29 April.

The Mandy singer is slated to perform his residency at the Westgate on selected weekends throughout 2026. His next shows are scheduled for 26 to 28 March.
