Barry Manilow serenaded the crowd at the KFC Yum! Center on Monday, Aug. 21, 2023.

Barry Manilow will soon head back out on tour, and he's adding more shows weeks after revealing he was undergoing cancer treatment.

Manilow's social media pages assured fans that the legendary crooner, 82, is "doing great" and therefore adding six more upcoming shows in March. The "Copacabana" singer will now be stopping in 15 cities in the South, Midwest and East Coast, after disclosing in December that he would undergo surgery to remove a cancer spot found on his lung.

The cancer spot, which he said would not require chemotherapy or radiation, was discovered after a lengthy bout with bronchitis.

Barry Manilow performs onstage during the 67th Grammy Awards pre-Grammy gala & Grammy Salute to Industry Icons honoring Jody Gerson at The Beverly Hilton on Feb. 1, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California.

A release announcing the new dates said Manilow received a stage-one lung cancer diagnosis, but "thanks to the early detection, the operation went well and his medical team is optimistic."

Listed on his website as "the last concerts," Manilow added six additional cities, including Charlotte, North Carolina; Norfolk, Virginia; Baltimore; Cincinnati; Nashville; and Lexington, Kentucky. The dates are in addition to dozens of 2026 shows as part of his Las Vegas residency.

Manilow also has new music on the way, following the Babyface-produced track "Once Before I Go" released in late 2025.
