Barry Manilow cancels Las Vegas concerts after contracting bronchitis

Barry Manilow cut short his concert at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino on October 9, 2026, after performing just two songs. Consequence reported that the 83-year-old singer subsequently canceled his scheduled performance for October 10, 2026. [1]

A representative for the singer told Variety that he was forced to stop the shows because he is battling bronchitis. The cancellations occurred just one full show into his return to the Las Vegas stage, according to Consequence. [1]

Bronchitis is an inflammation of the bronchi in the lungs that causes coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. It typically begins as an infection in the upper respiratory system before moving down to the lungs. [3]

The Las Vegas residency disruptions follow earlier health-related schedule changes for the artist. Consequence reported that Manilow previously postponed a series of dates on his planned farewell tour in the United States in December 2025. [1]
