Barry Manilow Postpones Early 2026 Arena Dates After Surgeon Says His Lungs Aren’t Ready

Surgeon-ordered rest extends his recovery from December lung surgery.

Overview

  • Manilow announced he will reschedule the first block of arena shows set for February 27 through March 17 on medical advice.
  • He said his surgeon warned he could not yet sustain a 90‑minute set, noting he still struggles to sing more than three songs in a row.
  • Earlier February dates at Westgate Las Vegas were already postponed, and his doctor indicated a likely return to Vegas at the very end of March.
  • The second leg of arena dates beginning in April remains possible per his surgeon’s assessment, with final timing dependent on medical clearance.
  • Manilow previously said the lung cancer was found early and removed, and doctors did not expect chemotherapy or radiation as venues work on new dates and refunds.
