It comes after the singer cancelled one of his London shows

Barry Manilow fans rushed to the comments section to admire a photo shared on his social media account after he had to cancel a recent show.

The 80-year-old Mandy hit-maker was forced to postpone one of his London shows earlier this week on "doctor's orders".

A statement posted on Manilow's social media accounts read: "Unfortunately, under doctor’s orders, we must cancel tonight’s 27th May Barry Manilow concert.

"Please hold on to your tickets until we can sort out rescheduling tonight's performance.

"We are very sorry we have to make this announcement and trust that tomorrow night's concert will go on as scheduled."

Hundreds of fans gathered at the London Palladium were forced to leave, but fortunately the concert has been rescheduled.

It seems Manilow is feeling better as his shows picked up again the following day, and, in a recent snap, he appears to be in good health.

The singer is all smiles in a photo which shows him posing with Pet Shop Boys singer Chris Lowe.

In the post on X, an accompanying caption reads: "Last night in London with #MANILOW and Chris Lowe from the @petshopboys."

Many were relieved to see the singer looking in good spirits, with one writing in the comments: "Beautiful photo, thank you for sharing. Looks like everybody is a Barry Manilow fan! I hope you're fine and yes, I'd really love to see you tonight. At least it doesn't rain, I only enjoy the rain in your songs. Take care, see you later...Bless you."

"Glad you’re feeling better!!" another penned, while a third added: "Great photo! Don’t know who I’d have been more excited to see. Seeing Barry on Tuesday and saw PSB last Sunday."

"Lovely to see our dear Chris so happy, the same feeling he makes us feel when we meet him," someone else shared.

"Love the Pet Shop Boys," another remarked along with a heart eyes emoji.

A different X user commented: "Great photo Chris thank you for sharing."
