Barry Manilow’s return to the Las Vegas stage following his cancer battle was cut short this weekend as the singer was hit with bronchitis. Manilow’s Las Vegas residency was postponed numerous times — from May 2026 to July 2026 to ultimately October 2026 — as he recovered from surgery to remove a “cancerous spot” on his lung, as the singer revealed last December. While Manilow was able to embark on his The Last Concerts farewell tour this summer, he finally returned to Las Vegas’ Westgate for his long-delayed residency on Thursday night, performing that first show incident-free.
The following evening, however, Manilow cut short his Friday concert after just two songs, and subsequently canceled Saturday’s show as well. Manilow is next scheduled to perform October 15, 16, and 17 at the Westgate, the second weekend of shows in a residency that’s currently scheduled through April 2027. The singer has been hit with bronchitis in recent years, including one bout that was so severe that he underwent tests that uncovered stage 1 lung cancer.
