Barry Manilow thought he was "dying" after he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
The 82-year-old crooner went public with his diagnosis late last year revealing he needed to postpone his upcoming concert dates so he could undergo surgery to remove a cancerous spot from one of his lungs. Barry has now credited his quick-thinking doctor with saving his life by ordering a scan on his lungs as a precaution after hearing about recent bouts of bronchitis.
