Singer Barry Manilow has experienced a series of performance cancellations and postponements during his farewell tour and residency. In early August 2026, Manilow postponed a scheduled concert at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, citing “unforeseen circumstances.” This followed a previous delay in March related to his recovery from stage 1 lung cancer surgery. By late August 2026, the 83-year-old singer canceled several performances at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino as part of his ‘The Hits Come Home!’ residency. These cancellations were attributed to “technical and vocal problems,” following a Thursday performance that was cut short after 40 minutes. Ticket holders for the Las Vegas shows were assured that refunds would be issued automatically. On August 26, 2026, Manilow announced a hiatus from live performances to recover from a demanding summer tour, noting he had been “pushing a little too hard” after completing 29 shows in 68 days. These ~~issues~~ health and scheduling adjustments occur as Manilow continues to manage the lingering effects of his previous lung cancer diagnosis. He plans to return to the Westgate Las Vegas on October 8, with new concert dates expected to be announced soon.
