Fans are absolutely shocked to find out how good Barry Manilow looks just days shy of his 80th birthday.
Ok, we need to find what fountain of youth Manilow is drinking from because the singer doesn’t look a day over 40.
Over the weekend, the musician with a career which spans more than 50 decades hit the Tony Awards at United Palace Theatre in New York City ahead of his birthday on June 17.

While a third commented: “A great voice. Mum liked him too. Hardly believe he's nearly 80 now.”
However, not all users showed him with compliments, as one shared: “With all that botox and work done to his face, my guy Barry Manilow is starting to look like Madam the puppet from the old Hollywood squares my word. He’s a damn legend regardless tho.”
The 'Copacabana' hitmaker, who's currently on tour, recently opened up to the Mirror on how he stays so youthful.
"Just luck! It's just blind luck. I'm very old, let's not talk about it - it's just very depressing," he said.

“I think of people who are 80... they look older than I do," he added.
“They’re retired. You know, that ain’t me.
And the multi-award-winning singer isn’t showing any signs of slowing anytime soon.
