By Daniel Bird, Mirror | Barry Manilow has given fans a new update after “very depressing” health news. The legendary singer, 82, has been very open with his fans in recent months after being diagnosed with lung cancer.
Following his diagnosis, Barry was forced to cancel a string of concerts, including his Las Vegas residency, in order to focus on his recovery. At the time, he said a visit from his surgeon had been “very depressing”, and he was adamant he would be fit to be on stage soon.
This, however, was not the case, with Barry being ordered to rest more, with the doctor saying that while he may be mentally ready to hit the road again, his body wasn’t ready. “You won’t make it through,” Barry’s doctor warned.
However, he’s now shared some exciting news with fans – in the form of new music. Barry, who is best known for hits such as Mandy, Copacabana (At The Copa), and I Wanna Do It With You, will release the album, named What A Time, on June 5, with Sun Shine, the single written with Gary Barlow, out now.

UPDATE:
Barry Manilow discusses undergoing a lobectomy amid lung cancer diagnosis: ‘They took out a part of me’
By Leigh Blickley, Entertainment Weekly
Barry Manilow is opening up about undergoing a lobectomy following his stage 1 lung cancer diagnosis.
In an interview published on Tuesday, the 82-year-old singer told PEOPLE that he had the scary surgery — in which an entire lobe of a diseased lung is removed to prevent the spread of illness — four weeks after doctors found a “dot” on his left lung in late 2025.
Manilow spent seven days in the ICU before being discharged following the removal of one of the organ’s two lobes.
“I don’t remember it, thank goodness, because it was a nightmare,” the “Copacabana” singer said of his hospital stay. “I’m one of the lucky ones; I don’t have to have chemo, radiation and all that stuff.”
Manilow is now cancer-free, but the diagnosis shook him.
