Barry’s Chicago show has now been rescheduled for Saturday, July 29 and his LA concert will take place on Friday, Aug 4.

This isn’t the first time Barry has recently canceled concerts due to health issues. In February 2016, the “Mandy” singer was rushed to the hospital after suffering “complications from emergency oral surgery.” A month earlier, he was hospitalized for a heart attack scare.

Barry additionally made headlines earlier this year for opening up about his marriage to Garry Kief for the first time. “I thought I would be disappointing [my fans] if they knew I was gay. So I never did anything,” Barry said. “I’m so private. I always have been.”

The singer found love with TV executive Garry — who later became his manager — in 1978. “He’s the smartest person I’ve ever met in my life — and a great guy, too,” Barry said.

“[When we met], I knew that this was it,” he continued. “I was one of the lucky ones. I was pretty lonely before that.”
