Barry Manilow Cancels Show Mid-Performance Due to Audio Issues
Barry Manilow, the beloved singer known for hits like "Weekend In New England," made a surprising decision during his performance at Westgate’s International Theater in Las Vegas on Thursday night. He canceled the show partway through, citing significant audio problems.
Audio Issues Lead to Show Cancellation
During the show, after finishing the song "Can’t Smile Without You," Manilow called it quits. The band's performance continued briefly, but the audio issues proved to be too significant to resolve while the show was ongoing. A representative from Manilow's team confirmed that he was experiencing monitor problems that could not be addressed during the performance.
Refunds and Audience Reaction
This unexpected cancellation has led to the show being officially treated as a cancellation. Attendees are being offered refunds at the point where they purchased their tickets. Up to this point, neither Manilow's team nor the hotel has provided a formal statement regarding the situation.
Manilow is known for drawing crowds from across the United States and even from other countries to his performances at Westgate. It was reported that Thursday's show was sold out, further emphasizing how disappointing this cancellation is for fans.
