"As many of you know, I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks," he continued. "Even though I was over the bronchitis and back on stage at the Westgate Las Vegas, my wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everyone was OK. The MRI discovered a cancerous spot on my left lung that needs to be removed. It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early. That’s the good news."
Manilow went on to say that the "bad news" was that he was going to have to cancel some of his upcoming shows because he needed to undergo surgery.
It appears as though Manilow had his surgery and is feeling "better." He did not offer any further update on his diagnosis, nor did he share whether or not he will be needing any sort of additional treatment. His initial post indicated that the lesion found was operable and doctors did not think he would need chemotherapy or radiation.
