I saw Barry Manilow perform in Las Vegas end of September 2007. He was NOT at all guant as in this photo. He looked well. He definitely has lost probably 40 to 50 pounds since I saw him in Vegas last September.

I just saw Barry three weeks ago in Vegas and he was just fabulous, and very much alive and well.

He should be 100 lbs. anyone that has been to one of his shows and sees how he runs around on stage, no wonder he has lost so much weight.

He looks like a sick person. Terminal illness? Perhaps cancer, he did sing in smoke filled clubs for many, many years.

Oh no!! How could this be?? He was in such great shape after his hip surgery and now this. He looks way too skinny!! He needs to eat some soul food that can stick to his ribs. This is a shock!!
You are always in my Prayers Barry!

I just saw Barry tonight in Las Vegas and he is SO THIN. Even wearing loose pants you can see that his legs were so skinny. But his voice is still AWESOME!

Just saw Barry on the Ellen show and was so shocked by his thin frame that I did a search to see if he is well. The camera is supposed to add pounds, but he looks soooooooo thin. He really does appear to be skin and bones and not much else. Hope he isn't ill.

Just saw him Dec. 30th in Vegas from row 4. I hadn't heard the news, but did notice that he is very thin. Doesn't matter though, he still has a voice that's a gift from God!
