What's Happening?
Barry Manilow has postponed his concert at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, for the second time. The 83-year-old musician announced the cancellation on social media, citing 'unforeseen circumstances' as the reason. Originally scheduled for March 9,
the concert was first postponed due to Manilow's recovery from lung cancer. The venue has assured ticket holders that their tickets will be honored once a new date is announced. Manilow is still scheduled to perform in Cincinnati on the following day.
Why It's Important?
