All day long I have been telling people, “Guess WHAT?!? I get to see BARRY MANILOW on Thursday!” Yes, a long-time dream come true. Mike bought the tickets as my birthday present, and I have been giddy about it ever since.
Tonight, my Mom called to tell me that Diana had left a comment that the show was cancelled. CANCELLED?!? How could that BE? I’ve been waiting all my life for this concert, and Barry had the audacity to CANCEL it?!?!??? What?!?
Turns out that he has a severe case of bronchitis and “As a ‘live’ performer, Manilow is unable to sing until he recovers.”
Yeah, LIVE baby. No Ashlee Simpson for Barry Manilow. No Milli Vanilli for him. He is singing LIVE, and if he is sick, he can’t sing.
So my Fanilow dream has been postponed. I won’t get to see him until November 17th. I have two more weeks now to let everyone I talk to in Houston know that I will be there to see Manilow, and they are missing out. Except Diana, she’ll be there too (in seats much better than mine, with backstage passes. *sigh*)
Oh, and the ticket company sent Mike an e-mail today to let him know that the show was moved, so I guess we might have found out eventually. But it was better to learn it here, from another sad Fanilow…

awww… i’m sad for you! ever since i saw him perform at the Rodeo a couple years back, i’ve been such a fan. i’ve always been a fan (that’s the only kind of music my mom let me listen to as i was little in elementary school), but seeing him life at the rodeo made me a bigger fan.
his concert here will be on nov 20th…i can’t wait!!!
i’m glad to find another “fanilow” :o))
Barry Manilow puts on an AWESOME show. I worked one of his concerts a few years back and was very impressed. I hope you enjoy the show! 🙂
We’ll BE there! WHEEEEEE! 😉
