The legendary musician said that after recovering from several weeks of bronchitis, his doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure everything was OK. During that scan, the doctor discovered a cancerous spot on his left lung that needs to be removed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early. That’s the good news,” Manilow shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The singer plans to have surgery to have the spot removed and said doctors don’t believe it’s spread, so he’ll be able to avoid chemotherapy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, because Manilow will need a month to recover post-surgery, he has to reschedule the January dates of his farewell tour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The tour includes stops in Tampa, Columbus, Charleston, Orlando, Sunrise, Estero, Greensboro, Jacksonville and Duluth, Georgia. The tour dates have been rescheduled for late February through April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I’m very sorry that you have to change your plans. Just like you, we were all looking forward to the January shows and hate having to move everything around,” Manilow explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manilow told fans he’ll be counting down the days until he returns to performing at his long-running Las Vegas residency for Valentine’s weekend in February. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
