Following a long-anticipated return to the stage Thursday night, Barry Manilow has canceled his Saturday show at the International Theater at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

“After a triumphant welcome-back concert on Thursday, Barry got hit with bronchitis and had to cancel his Friday and Saturday shows,” a representative for the musician told Variety.

The news follows reports that the “Copacabana” singer had concluded his Friday show early. His Thursday concert marked Manilow’s first time back onstage after a six-week hiatus following his Aug. 22 show. Manilow had been continuing his recovery from lung cancer, a diagnosis he publicly revealed in Dec. 2025.
