Summary
Barry Manilow’s life took an unexpected turn when a routine check-up for hip pain uncovered lung cancer, leading to surgery, a near-fatal ICU stint, and the postponement of his concerts — his longest break since the pandemic. Now recovering and undergoing vocal rehab, he’s confronting mortality for the first time, relying on others in ways he never imagined. Despite the setbacks, he’s pushing forward with a new album of original songs, “What a Time,” and intense workouts to reclaim his stage stamina — all while honoring the calling that keeps him performing, even at 78.
