Barry Manilow Cancels Pair of Las Vegas Residency Shows Due to ‘Technical and Vocal Problems’
The 83-year-old singer has postponed a series of shows and ended another one early last week following his treatment for stage 1 lung cancer in December.
Barry Manilow, the 83-year-old singer, had to cancel two planned Las Vegas residency shows due to technical and vocal problems, according to an Instagram post from the singer. The shows, which were scheduled for Friday and Saturday (August 20-21), were called off after the performance on Thursday night (August 20) was halted just 40 minutes into a performance of his hit song "Can't Smile Without You."
An Instagram post from Manilow read: "We’re very sorry but we have to cancel tonight’s (Friday) and tomorrow’s (Saturday’s) performances. Due to technical and vocal problems, we’re unable to put on our show." No additional information regarding the specific issues leading to the cancellation was available at the time. Manilow's Instagram post noted that refunds will be processed automatically at the point of purchase.
Despite the cancellations, Manilow is still scheduled to perform at the International Theater at Westgate Las Vegas this weekend (August 27-29) and has multiple shows booked for September, October, November, and December.
