Barry Manilow Postpones First Leg of Farewell Arena Tour on Doctor’s Orders

His surgeon determined his lungs are not yet ready for 90‑minute shows following December lung surgery.

Overview

  • The singer rescheduled concerts set for Feb. 27–March 17, the opening run of his 2026 arena dates.
  • Postponed stops included Tampa, Charlotte, Norfolk, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Columbus, Nashville, Lexington, Charleston, Orlando, Sunrise and Estero.
  • Manilow, 82, said he trains on a treadmill three times a day yet still cannot sing more than three songs consecutively.
  • Late‑March Westgate Las Vegas dates and the second arena leg beginning in April remain listed, with his doctor saying those are likely feasible.
  • The cancerous spot on his left lung was caught early and removed in December, and doctors have said they do not expect chemotherapy or radiation.
