Barry Manilow Cancels Rescheduled Kentucky Concert Due to ‘Unforeseen Circumstances’

Billboard · 4 hours ago

Barry Manilow cancelled his Tuesday night concert in Lexington, Kentucky for a second time, citing "unforeseen circumstances" in an Instagram post to fans. No further explanation was given, and a spokesperson for the 83-year-old singer had not responded to requests for comment at the time of reporting. The show had already been postponed once before, originally scheduled for March but delayed while Manilow underwent treatment for stage 1 lung cancer.

Manilow was still expected to perform in Cincinnati the following night, with five more US dates planned before he returns to Las Vegas for his "Hits Come Home!" residency, running at roughly six shows a month through December. He revealed his cancer diagnosis last December, had surgery shortly afterwards, and later spoke of a difficult recovery that included a week in intensive care with pneumonia. Despite the setbacks, he has continued performing and releasing music, scoring an Adult Contemporary top 10 hit in March and releasing his first album in 15 years, "What a Time," in June.
