On June 26, 1997, Manilow was diagnosed with bronchitis before a scheduled performance in Austin, Texas, his spokeswoman Susan Dubow said the following day.[69] Four other shows ... had to be postponed. Manilow was back on the road that July 8 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dubow said this is only the second time in Manilow's career that illness forced him to postpone a performance.[70]
As he touched on the era of the 1960s, Manilow again poked a little fun at himself as he went through some old album covers with the crowd, pretending to smoke marijuana next to a lava lamp. He whipped out the cover of his 1973 self-titled album and held it up for the crowd. "Boy, is this a desperate housewife or what?" Manilow said as the audience laughed.

"We are excited to have Barry back to QVC," said Rich Yoegel, director of merchandising for QVC. "He is one of the best live performers of all time and has enjoyed tremendous success on QVC."
On October 25, 1978, one hour before his scheduled debut at the Olympia Theatre he fractured his ankle.[41] Manilow was rushed to a doctor who taped the injury minutes before he stepped onstage. Manilow insisted on going on and doing his complete show, which included an intricate disco dance in the popular "Copacabana" production number.[42]
Manilow was wrong. Hasselbeck is a pain, but Manilow was wrong. If he didn't want to do the interview is one thing, but using it as a publicity stunt and sounding off to TMZ, ugh.

Manilow thinks Elisabeth Hasselbeck is “dangerous and offensive”? Well, it’s obvious that the liberals in this country think that they are the only ones entitled to an opinion - and that only their opinion is correct.
