Beloved icon Barry Manilow is still trying to fully get back on his feet after lung cancer surgery months ago. It has apparently been a slow process for the "Mandy" singer, 83, whose legendary career has spanned several decades. Unfortunately, per Page Six, Manilow had to scrub two performances recently. They were scheduled at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino on Friday, August 21 and Saturday. August 22. Per the outlet,those shows were included in The Hits Come Home! residency.

In fact, Manilow put off some of those residency performances that were previously slated for February because he was still recuperating.
The disappointing change was announced on Instagram. The post stated, "We're very sorry but we have to cancel tonight's and tomorrow's performances. Due to technical and vocal problems, we're unable to put on our show." In the comments, another message noted, "Refunds will automatically be processed via your point of purchase."

He also scrapped a show in Lexington, Kentucky, at Rupp Arena earlier in August. The reason given at the time was "unforeseen crcumstances." That concert, per the outlet, was first slated for March 9, then it was postponed.

"I bought your greatest hits for a dollar I found at the flea market it's a CD and I've listened to it non-stop for the past week and my mom was in love with you she's been gone 10 years now"
