“The doctors do not believe it has spread and I’m taking tests to confirm their diagnosis. So, that’s it. No chemo. No radiation. Just chicken soup and ‘I Love Lucy’ reruns.”
Manilow has had to reschedule his upcoming concerts for his surgery and recovery and has apologised to fans who had tickets.
He wrote: “I’m very sorry that you have to change your plans. Just like you, we were all looking forward to the January shows and hate having to move everything around.
“In the meantime, I’m counting the days until I return to my home away from home at the Westgate Las Vegas for our Valentine’s weekend concerts on February 12, 13 [and] 14 and throughout 2026.”
He also urged people to get tested early, writing: “Remember, if you have even the slightest symptom… get tested!”
