Manilow was originally scheduled to perform at the Hertz Arena in January before doctors found a cancerous spot on his lung, requiring surgery.

Manilow rescheduled the concert dates at the Hertz Arena for March 16 and 17, but those dates have been canceled.

"I'm so sorry I have to reschedule the first batch of Arena shows from February 27 - March 17," Manilow said in a Facebook post. "But when I do come back, I will COME BACK!"

Rescheduled dates for Manilow's stop in Estero are not yet available.
