LAS VEGAS — “Can’t Smile Without You” has never been so prophetic.
Citing audio problems, Barry Manilow canceled his performance mid-show at Westgate’s International Theater on Thursday night.
The “Weekend In New England” superstar called it because of concerns over the venue’s audio setup. A Manilow rep confirmed the superstar was experiencing monitor issues that couldn’t be fixed during the show.
Manilow had finished “Can’t Smile Without You,” with the band continuing to play, when he ended the performance.
