Rumors About Barry Manilow Plastic Surgery
His recent appearance on the chat show with Chris Wallace has caught the attention of Barry’s fans and followers, and that sent the rumor mills rolling like never before. It is hard to escape the harsh spotlight of public scrutiny when you are a celebrity who has been entertaining a global base of fans for many years.
The air has been rife with speculations for a very long time now – for many years, people kept wondering how much plastic surgery Barry Manilow has got for himself, as his appearance kept changing as time went by. But this time, the public feels that the music icon has taken his cosmetic surgery a bit too far since he looks practically unrecognizable!
Barry appeared on a Christmas special show on NBC channel and performed some of his greatest Christmas hits. That is when people observed that he could not even open his mouth properly and sing because of all the cosmetic procedures he had undergone.
Back in 2003, he was all over the headlines for allegedly going for a total facelift – but that is not all! People seem to be very certain that along with a facelift, Barry has also resorted to other cosmetic surgery procedures such as eyelid surgery, nose job, cheek implants as well and Botox fillers, to name a few. People started talking about his plastic surgery – from how his cheekbones seemed to appear more pronounced nowadays to his chin fillers that ended up making his face all puffy.
Speculation About His Facelift
As we have mentioned before, Barry was dragged into facelift speculations several years ago – reports said that he went for a lower and upper facelift to tighten any kind of sagginess on his facial skin. The singer-songwriter did address speculations surrounding his facelift that was meant to tighten the drooping skin on his face and surrounding his eyes owing to age.
He said that it was done after he had a “walk-into-the-wall” incident and ended up hurting his nose so badly that it needed some fixing. He claimed that he took a wrong turn and hit a wall, hard enough to distort his face which was then fixed by surgery. However, his followers believe that this is just a smokescreen story for the rhinoplasty or nose job that we underwent.
Some people can get creative with spinning stories and explanations rather than admitting the reality. As if that was not enough, Barry Manilow said that the changes people observed in his face were due to side effects of his health treatments, and not any cosmetic surgery procedure.
Speculations About Barry’s Illness
While Barry Manilow has been slammed by Netizens, for undergoing excessive plastic surgery procedures, there have also been concerns about his health.
Recently, Manilow was hospitalized after suffering a health setback on the eve of his much-anticipated show at Westgate Las Vegas on December 1st, 2023. He was diagnosed with an infection of the bronchial tract, which can cause symptoms ranging from breathing trouble and coughing to uneasiness in the chest. Reportedly, the iconic singer suffered from COVID-19 infection last year, i.e., in 2022 – this disease along with his bronchial ailment posed a very serious health challenge for Barry.
Years ago, there were reports about the legendary award-winning singer suffering from a disorder of the heart, which is known as atrial fibrillation. This condition causes the heart to beat out of rhythm and can lead to serious health consequences, even death, if not taken care of at the right time.
However, this time nothing related to his heart was mentioned in the official statement from his publicist and team.
Update On His Health
After news of the diagnosis of his bronchial infection spread, fans and followers of Barry Manilow have been concerned and curious to know how he has been keeping. While the audience was utterly disappointed after the show had to be canceled due to his health scare, they were relieved to know later that the singer was under treatment. The official statement that was published by his team said that he was under the observation and care of expert medical professionals and is expected to recover fully over time.
