Manilow's Cancer Diagnosis
It was just last month when the 82-year-old Copacabana singer shared that an MRI revealed a cancerous spot on his left lung. The MRI came after he battled six weeks of bronchitis, followed by a relapse of another five weeks.
Manilow also shared that he underwent surgery to have the cancerous spot removed.
