The 82-year-old Copacabana crooner is giving fans a glimpse into his recovery. Barry Manilow posted a selfie from his hospital bed on Instagram, assuring everyone he's 'better today' amid treatment for a cancerous spot in his lung. Support is pouring in from his team as he reschedules tour dates.
Oh, darlings, hold onto your disco balls because Barry Manilow is fighting back with that signature sparkle! The 82-year-old legend behind 'Copacabana' dropped a tea-spilling update on Instagram this Friday, January 2, just weeks after revealing his health scare. Back in December, doctors spotted a cancerous spot on his left lung during an MRI—turns out, that nagging bronchitis he'd been battling for over two months was more than just a cough. 😷
In the selfie, Barry's rocking a green hospital gown, flashing a grin that's pure positivity from his bed. The caption? Straight fire: 'Better today!' It's like a text bubble of hope, y'all. As TMZ reports, he's heading under the knife soon to zap that spot, which means waving goodbye (for now) to his January shows—rescheduled for recovery time.
The love train is rolling in the comments! Backup singer Melanie Taylor gushed, 'That’s my boss y’all! He’s making it through the rain! Love you B!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽' And drummer Matt Sorum chimed in with, 'Heal up Barry, much love.' Iconic squad energy right there. 💪
Barry's been open about the battle, sharing how the diagnosis hit during routine checks. Fans are rallying, but let's be real—this man's got more hits than hospital visits. Will he be belting out those beachy anthems soon? Fingers crossed, because the stage won't know what to do without him!
