Barry Manilow has postponed another concert.
The "Copacabana" singer was set to perform in Lexington, Kentucky, on Aug. 4, a makeup date for a show originally scheduled for March 9, per WLEX Lex 18 News.
In a statement posted to his Instagram page, the Grammy-winning singer, 83, attributed the short-notice cancellation to "unforeseen circumstances."
"Due to unforeseen circumstances tonight's show in Lexington has been rescheduled," the post read. Fans noted in the comments that the announcement came 30 minutes before showtime.
"It was very disappointing.. just arrived and then it was announced.. I wish they told us earlier after driving so much," one person wrote.
USA TODAY has reached out to Manilow's reps for comment.
Barry Manilow hospital stay, cancer diagnosis come amid concert cancellation
The postponed date comes amid
the pop legend's recovery, after a cancer spot was discovered on one of his lungs, as well as a battle with pneumonia and a nearly monthlong hospital stay.
The singer performed in Columbus on Aug. 2, apparently without issue. The singer's 90-minute performance included an opening-number shuffle with his backup singers across the length of the stage.
"I'm not sure I can do 90 minutes [on stage] … I'm pushing myself as much as I can every day," Manilow previously told USA TODAY. "And now and again, I think I'm fine. And then the next day I can't talk, no less sing."
He continued, "Nobody thinks about that they're going to die. But a couple of nights I said to myself, 'Whoa, have I done everything I wanted to do? Have I been good to people?' It's that same story you think of when you get that close [to death]. And I was right there, I was inside that."
The singer is set to perform in Cincinnati on Aug. 5 and Baltimore on Aug. 7, as well as stops in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida through mid-August as part of his tour.
