Quotes
Barry Manilow
Singer and songwriter known for hits like 'Mandy'
“It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early. That’s the good news. The bad news is that now that the Christmas Gift Of Love concerts are over I’m going into surgery to have the spot removed. The doctors do not believe it has spread and I’m taking tests to confirm their diagnosis. So that’s it. No chemo. No radiation. Just chicken soup and I Love Lucy reruns.”
