Barry Manilow, 82, gives a health update following surgery for lung cancer and a subsequent bout of pneumonia. Multiple outlets report that Manilow underwent an operation in December to remove a cancerous tumor from his lung. He says he later developed life-threatening pneumonia that he described as “just about killing me,” and that he spent time in intensive care during the illness. As he continues to recover, he cancels or adjusts planned performances, including parts of his UK tour. Manilow also addresses concerns about his singing voice after the treatment, telling BBC Breakfast that it does not seem to be fully there and that his voice may not return. Billboard reports that Manilow shares these details in connection with an upcoming appearance on Good Morning America. Overall, the reports present a consistent account: he is recovering from lung cancer surgery, faced a severe pneumonia infection afterward, and is experiencing uncertainty about the return of his vocal ability while managing performance plans.
