Legendary singer Barry Manilow, 82, has revealed fears that his voice may never fully recover after battling lung cancer.<\/p>\n
The \u201cMandy\u201d and \u201cCopacabana\u201d star underwent surgery after being diagnosed with lung cancer in late 2025. Although doctors caught the disease early and he is now cancer-free, Manilow said he was shocked during a recent sound check when he realized his voice no longer sounded the same.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy voice\u2014I don\u2019t know whether it\u2019s coming back,\u201d he admitted, calling the experience \u201creally upsetting.\u201d<\/p>\n
During treatment, Manilow also spent seven days in intensive care with pneumonia and described the ordeal as terrifying.<\/p>\n
Despite the challenges, the Grammy-winning singer says he feels healthy and hopes to return to the stage for his farewell tour. However, he remains uncertain whether his voice will be ready.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m ready to go. I just hope my voice is,\u201d he said.!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
