Barry Manilow made a powerful return to the stage in Glasgow after six months away following treatment for lung cancer.
The 82-year-old music legend performed to around 12,000 fans at the OVO Hydro Arena, marking his first live show since undergoing surgery to remove a tumour from his lung.
During the emotional concert, Barry opened up about his difficult health battle, telling the crowd that two things helped him through the toughest moments: The Beatles and the support of his fans.
He joked that he played Beatles albums “over and over” during his recovery, until his husband Garry Kief threatened to leave if he didn’t stop.
But Barry said the messages, letters and prayers from fans around the world were what truly carried him through the “scary” period.
The singer revealed he was lucky not to need chemotherapy or radiation, but admitted recovery had still been a long road.
Despite earlier fears that his voice might not fully return, Barry delivered a 90-minute show filled with classics, humour and standing ovations.
The star, who recently released his first album of new material in nearly 15 years, proved there is still plenty of magic left in his remarkable career.
