In his post, Barry revealed he was rescheduling his first batch of arena shows, which were due to begin in a matter of days.
He explained that the shows that are being canceled are the February 27 up until March 17 shows, on the order of his surgeon.
Barry then delivered some happy news when he said he would likely be able to do the Vegas shows at the very end of March, and the second batch of arena shows at the beginning of April.
“I’m SO, SO sorry I have to reschedule some of these first arena shows, again,” Barry added.
The full statement read: “Hi everyone, Barry here.
“Just got home from visiting the surgeon. Very depressing visit.
“I told him that I have been using the treadmill three times a day (I have) but that I still couldn’t sing more than three songs in a row before I had to stop.”
Barry added that he told his surgeon that he was sure he would be able to do the arena shows in a few weeks, but the surgeon shook his head.

But now the ‘results’ have been revealed with Danniella sharing a slew of new snaps post-surgery but ever the perfectionist, the star couldn’t resist adding a filter or two to the images before she posted them online.
The star’s new images featured a helping hand in order to enhance her appearance even more post-surgery.
The axed EastEnders star could be seen posing on a towel as she enjoyed the Dubai heat.
Wearing a blue bikini, Danniella showed off her filtered face and her body in the images.
She pulled a series of sultry poses in which evidence of her recent nose operations could be seen thanks to some slight bruising still visible around the nostril area.
In another image, Danniella opted to wear a pair of glasses as she laid back and relaxed in the sunshine.
Danniella had a full face, neck and brow lift in addition to a lip and nose reconstruction.
Following the operation, she left the facility in a wheelchair with a facial compression garment wrapped around her head.
A full recovery for a face, neck and chin lift can take up to nine months.

The surgery was performed by Danniella’s trusted Surgeon Dr Parviz Sadigh, who has carried out operations on her in the past.
Danniella became hooked on drugs at the age of 14 after beginning to take cocaine after shooting to fame as Sam Mitchell in the BBC soap opera, EastEnders.
The former star estimates that she has spent a whopping £250,000 on cocaine in her lifetime and was using at least five grams a day throughout her entire pregnancy with son, Kai.
Danniella was addicted to drugs throughout the 1990s and early 2000.
She then managed to stay clean before a number of relapses including in 2017 – the year after she last appeared on EastEnders.
Her latest known drug relapse was in 2021.
This abuse led to the collapse of her nose and cheekbones, with her septum – the cartilage that separates the two nostrils – falling out.
At the time, the star admitted she was hoping to rebuild her face so that she can kick start her acting career once again.
On the day of her surgery, she said: “Big day for me heading down for a very long surgery right now to rebuild my face.
“Then I can get back to work.”

However, she didn’t reveal what work she’d had done, until now.
Today the Canadian-born star spilled the beans and revealed that she’d undergone a full facelift in York, North Yorkshire.
Speaking on the latest edition of her Telling Everybody Everything podcast, Katherine said: “The surgery was a facelift. Yes, a full facelift – a little bit of fat transfer to my cheekbone area, and a small bleph[aroplasty].
“A bleph is when they take a tiny bit of your eyelid skin, though not too much, and then they’ll usually – to avoid hollowness, put a little bit of fat back in there too.
“So I had some fat put in like my upper face, my eyelids, and then I had a facelift.’
Explaining why she wanted to have the cosmetic procedure, Katherine said: “Almost metaphorically I needed to do something, to reclaim my identity, to reclaim my autonomy, to claw back the face that I had in, like, 2019,’ she said.
“I am not crazy. I’m not trying to wind it back to 2006. I’m just trying to look the way I did, like, pre-COVID, pre-six pregnancies in five years.”
Talking about how she felt afterwards, The Duchess star said: “The beauty is you’re pretty numb afterwards.
“I was bruised, and I was swollen, and I think I am still a little bit swollen. But basically, I just went about my daily life from day one.

“They sent me home with some paracetamol. If I had needed stronger drugs, I think that was available, but I didn’t. I took ibuprofen, paracetamol for like three days.”
As she had the surgery in December, Katherine then added: “I went to Christmas parties.
“I took the kids to Lapland. I went to the Royal Hall for carolling. I did all of the Christmas stuff. I looked after a newborn baby.”
“I went to York, it was three and a half hours, I elected to take the baby with me because she just turned eight weeks that day and I’m still breastfeeding her, obviously, I will be for a long time,” she told her fans.
“You can’t breastfeed immediately after surgery but I could obviously spend the night with her before and breastfeed her then.
“I was thinking to myself, after I got this surgery – which, wait until you see it, is pretty serious surgery – I was like, ‘Katherine Ryan what is your damage? What the f*** are you doing? Why have you brought a baby to surgery.’
“But then i thought, up and down this country, worldwide, everyday, we are giving women C-sections and then saying, ‘Sweet, go keep these twins alive’.”

Katherine clarified that a C section is “much more serious” than the procedure she had.
She joked: “So, what’s an elective cosmetic procedure with a newborn?”
She says there is more information coming soon on the show.
