Barry Manilow’s postponed concert at Prudential Center rescheduled for June 26
Barry Manilow announced a new date for his postponed concert at The Prudential Center in Newark. The show, originally scheduled for April 14, will now take place on June 26. While the new date is not yet listed on official websites, a message on Ticketmaster assures ticket-holders that their tickets will be valid for the rescheduled show.
At the age of 83, Manilow is embarking on what he calls his farewell tour, with the Newark concert billed as “The Last Newark Concert.” Following a surgery to remove a cancerous spot on his lung, Manilow had to cancel several shows. In a People magazine interview, he declared that he is now cancer-free but is still on a long road to recovery.
Reflecting on his health scare, Manilow shared, “It has really, really made me take stock of my life. This made me stop and think about: Have I done what I wanted to do, and have I made people happy? Have I been a good friend? All of those cornball things that I’ve read for all of my life, I started to think about that, too. It really did stop me in my tracks.” He expressed gratitude for the positive aspects of his life and career.
Despite his health challenges, Manilow remains dedicated to his music. He is set to release a new album titled “What a Time” on June 5. This album marks his return to creating all-new, original studio material after a decade, with his last original studio album being “15 Minutes” released in 2011.
As Manilow prepares to hit the stage once again and share his music with his fans, the announcement of the rescheduled concert brings hope and excitement to all who appreciate his timeless melodies and heartfelt lyrics. With the support of his loyal audience, Manilow looks forward to delivering a memorable performance that will resonate with fans old and new.
The new date for Barry Manilow’s concert at The Prudential Center signifies a celebration of resilience and the power of music to unite people. As Manilow continues on his musical journey, his unwavering dedication to his craft and his enduring legacy as a music icon remain undimmed. Fans eagerly anticipate the opportunity to witness his electrifying performance and participate in a memorable musical experience that transcends time and challenges.
