Barry Manilow has decided to postpone his Las Vegas residency amid lung cancer treatment.

Sharing the news on social media, the singer expressed, “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.”

“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. Having a few extra weeks to rest and prepare is what the doctor ordered!” the singer added.

Barry also assured that the tickets for the postponed dates will be refunded.

It was back in December that the “Mandy” singer revealed that he had to cancel his Christmas tour early as the doctors found a cancerous spot on his left lung that needed to be removed.

“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.”

Barry Manilow recently announced that he had to cancel a series of upcoming shows, after he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

In an announcement made on 22 December, the legendary singer wrote that after going through six weeks of bronchitis and another five weeks of the same thing, his doctors found a cancerous spot on his 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,” said Manilow. “The bad news is that now that the ‘Christmas A Gift of Love’ concerts are over, I’m going into surgery to have the spot removed. 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.”

Manilow said that his January arena concerts will have to be rescheduled since he will need a month to recover.

“I’m very sorry that you have to change your plans. Just like you, we were all looking forward to the January shows and hate having to move everything around,” he added.

The singer then reminds fans to get tested even if they have the slightest symptom.
