Barry Manilow Cancels Las Vegas Shows After Falling Ill Post-Return
Barry Manilow ended his Friday concert after two songs and cancelled Saturday's performance at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort due to bronchitis, shortly after resuming shows following lung cancer treatment.
Barry Manilow halted his Friday night concert at the International Theater in the Westgate Las Vegas Resort after only two songs and subsequently cancelled the Saturday show. His representatives told Variety that the singer, who had returned to the stage on Thursday following a six-week hiatus, was struck by bronchitis.
The band continued with instrumental music before an announcement over the public address system declared the show over. Ticketmaster issued email notifications to ticket holders about refunds.
Manilow, 83, had publicly disclosed a lung cancer diagnosis in December 2025 and indicated a month-long recovery period. He had previously promised that his comeback would be a celebratory event and expressed anticipation for upcoming Valentine’s weekend concerts scheduled for February 12-14 and additional dates in 2026.
