I went back to his site to find the press release so I could post it.

PALM SPRINGS, Calif., February 2, 2004 / Barry Manilow returned home after a 24 hour stay at Desert Regional Medical Center to treat stress related chest pains.

Manilow was in high fibrillation and rushed to the hospital late Saturday (31). After a series of test and procedures, his heart rate returned to normal and doctors allowed the superstar to return home.

In New York last week, Manilow and co-writer Bruce Sussman spent two days of arbitration in a lawsuit fighting to win back the rights to their original staged musical “Harmony,” from producer Mark Schwartz.

In November 2003, just weeks prior to opening, it was announced that the “Harmony” pre-Broadway run in Philadelphia was canceled – and would not open - due to Schwartz’s severely undercapitalizing the production, falling $6 million short of the show’s $8 million capitalization.

Manilow issued the following statement from his home earlier today: “This is the true definition of heartbreak,” says Manilow. “It literally broke my heart to sit for two days and watch these beautiful people of the creative team testify because of the incompetence of this man who brought down our show,” he says referring to Schwartz.

“My heart was broken, but the doctors put it back together and I will continue to fight.” Manilow said.
Good gawd, thats pathetic! Do we know for sure Barry's a guy?
