“The audiences there were fantastic as usual, and that last night was very moving, knowing that I wouldn’t be seeing my UK friends anymore. It was odd flying home because I wasn’t tired, my voice had held up for the entire run, and each show was more exciting than the last. I wasn’t even out of breath at the end of each show."
"As of now, I can still run around the stage, I can still hit the high F Natural at the end of Even Now, and I still look fabulous! But I said goodbye, and I meant it. Sort of," he added.
“There was just one thing. I don’t wanna say goodbye! So we’re coming back. We’re going to have a great, big Barry Manilow concert! Hope you all come. We’ll have a ball!”
There are plenty of chances to see Manilow for the final time if you're quick. The 82-year-old will kick things off at Glasgow's OVO Hydro on June 9, before heading to Leeds (June 11), Liverpool (June 13), and Cardiff (June 14). The last tour date is scheduled for London's O2 Arena on June 17. You can find a full list of UK tour dates below.
