Barry Manilow 'smitten with Britain' on emotional final night of tour which turned Leeds into Las Vegas

When you're looking for a night of powerful iconic music performed by the greatest showman, look no further than Mr Barry Manilow.

Barry himself was struck down by Covid not so long ago but showed no signs of any lingering illness as he was up on his feet all night and sung his heart out to an animated audience smiling from ear to ear last night.
