Barry Manilow is to undergo surgery to have a cancerous spot removed from his left lung.

The pop legend posted on social media Monday morning that doctors discovered the abnormality during an MRI conducted during his recent run of Christmas shows at the Westgate’s International Theater. Manilow had been tested after suffering from bronchitis for several weeks.

“The MRI discovered a cancerous spot on my left lung that needs to be removed,” Manilow posted. “It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early.” Manilow continued. “That’s the good news.”
