1970s soft-rock icon Barry Manilow has postponed a series of February concerts due to health concerns. The announcement was shared via Instagram Wednesday afternoon and fans are both worried and supportive.
poned shows are part of Manilow's Westgate Las Vegas residency, specifically all the dates scheduled for February. The news follows Manilow's lung surgery in December, where he had a stage-one cancerous tumor removed from his left lung. The star took to social media to explain that he needs more time before returning to the stage.
"I'm doing great and recovering very well after my surgery. I've been getting exercise and spending some time in the studio, which has been fantastic," said Manilow. "With my doctors guidance and recommendation, however, we have decided to postpone my residency dates at Westgate Las Vegas from February 12-21 so I can stay and focus on healing and getting ready for the tour that's kicking off at the end of February. Having a few extra weeks to rest and prepare is what the doctor ordered!"

Manilow is set to commence a farewell tour on February 27 in Tampa, Florida. The arena tour will travel to 15 cities across the U.S. and it is Manilow's goal to feel his best for it.
In the comments section, fans share their sympathies with kindhearted messages.
