’70s pop icon Barry Manilow hopes to “sing like a bird” again after recent health concerns, including lung cancer in December and more recently “pushing a little too hard” for the 83-year-old crooner.
There aren’t many octogenarians taking the stage and still impressing, as Vegas is notorious for acts running too long.
Manilow has largely received high praise from concertgoers, especially during his “Sin City” residency with dates scheduled through December 2026. But recent technical glitches forced one show to end early, followed by more cancellations at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

Behind the scenes, however, more rest may have been needed, as Manilow spoke directly to fans on Instagram this week to reveal a much-needed break from performing for a hard reset:
“Hi everybody – Barry here. And I want you to be the first to know that we’re going to take a quick break,” he began. “We just finished a fantastic summer tour. 29 shows in 68 days. The shows were fantastic. The audiences were fantastic. And I sounded fantastic. But it seems that we were pushing a little too hard.”
He added, “Now we all need to sit down and shut up. So, we’re going to take a break until we return to the Westgate Las Vegas on October 8th. When I’ll be singing like a bird. I hope to see you then.”
If all goes according to plan, it won’t be long before the music legend is back behind the microphone fulfilling his lifetime residency with Westgate doing what he’s done for more than five decades.
