The audiences there were fantastic as usual and that last night was very moving, knowing that I wouldn\u2019t be seeing my U.K. friends anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe 82-year-old continued, \u201cIt was odd flying home because I wasn\u2019t tired, my voice had held up for the entire run and each show was more exciting than the last. I wasn\u2019t even out of breath at the end of each show. But I guess \u2018leave \u2018em wanting more\u2019 was a good rule to follow. After all, I\u2019m 100-years-old and any day now I\u2019m probably going to lose my hair, gain a big pot belly and need a cane to dance around to \u2018Copacabana.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cBut, as of now I can still run around the stage, I can still hit the high F Natural at the end of \u2018Even Now\u2019 and I still look fabulous! But I said goodbye and I meant it. Sort of. There was just one thing. I don\u2019t wanna say goodbye! So we\u2019re coming back. We\u2019re going to have a great, big Barry Manilow concert!
