Barry Manilow yesterday returned home following that 24-hour hospital stay
for stress-related chest pains. As previously reported it is thought the pains were brought on by stress after two days in legal arbitration involving ownership of the musical 'Harmony' - the legal wranglings were with producer Mark Schwartz, who produced an unsuccessful run of the show on Broadway. In a statement to the press Manilow himself said: "It literally broke my heart to sit for two days and watch these beautiful people of the creative team testify because of the incompetence (that) brought down our show. My heart was broken, but the doctors put it back together, and I will continue to fight."
