msc 18,466 Posted April 8, 2017 I'll be completely honest here: I didn't even know he was IN the closet. I thought it was just one of those widely known things announced decades ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He once wrote a song about V I A G R A before it was even invented: "I've been up, down, trying to get the feeling again..." Edit: OK that's weird. He didn't write a song about SPAM. He wrote a song about the little blue pill beginning with V Edited December 11, 2022 by Paul Bearer Product inserted 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,044 Posted October 18, 2023 Okay, this is straightforward. Mail reports that Manilow is a grandfather: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12646527/Barry-Manilow-grandfather-Garry-Kief-little-girl.html Yeah, I was like...woah! Then it is is husband's daughter who has adopted a little girl. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Comped 528 Posted October 20 Cancels show mid-performance, for what was claimed to be audio problems. However, multiple Vegas journalists/insiders have noted that people should "see Barry Manilow while we're able", and have implied he is suffering from health issues. I'm not sure where to go on this one, but if local recognized journalists are hinting that there might be something more to the story, it might be worth keeping an eye on him for a very long list. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingbygrace 341 Posted October 20 Yeah with him having heart problems such as A -Fib he might be one that will be hard to nail on timing of putting him on a death list. You can live for years and years with something like that or drop dead in a matter of seconds. Maybe the reports are sniffing out that he is just thinking at 81 he is close to simply wanting to retire. Or is it that health issues are starting to become more and more of an issue for him that is forcing him to start to think he can not keep going. He also seems to be a bit of a private man and getting any specific details of his health might be hard to come by on a national level. Wow though I really do not want to think of the day we do lose him. Him and Micheal Bolton are two singers that I do not look forward to seeing the news of their deaths. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
