创作型歌手巴里·曼尼洛周五宣布,由于在被诊断出肺癌后接受手术,目前仍在康复中,他需要重新安排多场演唱会。
在周五发布于社交媒体的声明中,这位82岁的歌手表示,他刚刚和外科医生进行了一次”非常令人沮丧的谈话”,医生告诉他:”巴里,你还没准备好进行90分钟的演出。你的肺部还没恢复。”
曼尼洛称,他的外科医生表示”考虑到你经历的一切,你的身体状况已经很好了,但还没准备好”,并告诉他:”你不应该先进行体育馆演出,你撑不下来。”
这位《科帕卡巴纳》(Copacabana)的热门歌曲创作者去年12月宣布,他被诊断出患有肺癌,为接受手术不得不重新安排原定1月的演唱会日期。
根据他的官方网站信息,他即将举行的体育馆演出原定于2月27日在佛罗里达州坦帕市拉开帷幕。曼尼洛周五表示,他必须将从2月27日至3月17日的首批演出重新安排时间。

曼尼洛表示:”内心深处,我很想重返舞台——但我的身体却告诉我,我的心脏不愿承认的事实:我还没准备好。”他说,尽管他每天都会使用跑步机锻炼三次,但”仍然无法连续演唱超过三首歌就必须停下来”。
“非常抱歉,我不得不再一次推迟这些首批体育馆演出。但当我重返舞台时,我一定会强势回归!”他补充道。
曼尼洛称,他的外科医生表示,他可能在3月底能够在拉斯维加斯演出,并参加4月开始的第二阶段体育馆演出。
去年12月,曼尼洛表示,在加利福尼亚州棕榈泉进行驻场演出期间,他因长期患支气管炎,随后的核磁共振检查发现肺部有”一个癌性病灶”。
“很幸运(并且有一位很棒的医生),这个病灶被发现得非常早,”曼尼洛当时说道,并补充称他将接受手术切除该病灶。

Barry Manilow cancels more concerts amid recovery after cancer surgery

Singer-songwriter Barry Manilow announced Friday he needs to reschedule several more concerts as he continues to recover following surgery after he was diagnosed with lung cancer.
In a statement posted Friday to social media, the 82-year-old said he just had a “very depressing visit” with his surgeon, who he said told him: “Barry, you won’t be ready to do a 90 minute show. Your lungs aren’t ready yet.”
Manilow said his surgeon said he was in “great shape considering what you’ve been through, but your body isn’t ready,” and told him: “You shouldn’t do the first Arena shows. You won’t make it through.”
The “Copacabana” hitmaker announced in December that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer and needed to reschedule his January concert dates in order to have surgery.
His upcoming arena shows were scheduled to begin Feb. 27 in Tampa, Florida, according to his website. Manilow said Friday he has to reschedule the first batch of shows from Feb. 27 through March 17.

Manilow said that “deep down, I wanted to go back—but my body knew what my heart didn’t want to admit: I wasn’t ready.” He said that while he’s been using the treadmill three times a day, he “still couldn’t sing more than three songs in a row before I had to stop.”
“I’m SO, SO sorry I have to reschedule some of these first Arena shows. Again! But when I do come back, I will COME BACK!!!” he added.
Manilow said his surgeon indicated he might be able to perform in Las Vegas at the end of March and for the second leg of the arena shows scheduled to begin in April.
In December, Manilow said an MRI scan detected “a cancerous spot” on one of his lungs after he suffered a lengthy bout of bronchitis in the midst of a residency in Palm Springs, California.
“It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early,” Manilow said at the time, adding that he was having surgery to have the spot removed.
