“I looked at my band, and they were all looking at the floor, so that was the first hint that something was not right": Barry Manilow says that he doesn’t “sound like me” after cancer surgery

Singer Barry Manilow, 2025.

Barry Manilow says that he’s unsure that his voice will ever return to what it was after undergoing surgery for lung cancer.

The 82-year-old MOR star has been battling cancer for some time and last December had to have a tumour removed from his lung, forcing him to cancel a number of shows as well as his Las Vegas residency.
