Overview
- Manilow announced on social media that the Rupp Arena show was rescheduled just before doors opened Tuesday night, with the post timestamped about 41–45 minutes before the scheduled 7 p.m. start.
- Rupp Arena confirmed the postponement and said all previously purchased tickets will be honored when a new date is announced, but neither the singer nor the venue gave a specific reason for the late change.
- This was the second time the Lexington date has been moved since a March postponement that followed Manilow’s December diagnosis and surgery for stage 1 lung cancer.
- Fans who had already arrived at the arena posted frustration and concern on social media about the last‑minute notice and the costs and travel disruption it created.
- Manilow remains listed for a Cincinnati concert the next day, and the cancellation highlights ongoing questions about his stamina and schedule reliability as he continues his farewell tour after cancer treatment.
