Barry Manilow postponed his Lexington, Kentucky, concert less than 45 minutes before he was scheduled to take the stage.<\/p>\n
The 83-year-old singer was expected to perform at Rupp Arena at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 4th. A message shared through his social media accounts at 6:19 p.m. cited \u201cunforeseen circumstances\u201d but provided no further explanation.<\/p>\n
The arena issued its own notice shortly before showtime and told ticket holders that the concert would be rescheduled. Fans who had already traveled to the venue were asked to retain their original tickets.<\/p>\n
The abrupt change marked the second postponement of Manilow\u2019s Lexington show, which had originally been scheduled for March while he was recovering from surgery for stage 1 lung cancer.<\/p>\n
