Crooner Barry Manilow has left hospital to return to his Palm Springs, California home after blaming chest pains on the "true heartbreak" of his ongoing legal battle. The singer was hospitalized on Saturday with stress-related chest pains and an irregular heartbeat, which he has blamed on spending the prior two days in arbitration over his lawsuit over rights to the musical Harmony. Manilow, who was allowed to return home after doctors determined his heart rate had normalized, and his co-writer Bruce Sussman are attempting to win back the rights from producer Mark Schwartz, who, they contest, caused Harmony to fold last year due to financial mismanagement. The 57-year-old says, "This is the true definition of heartbreak. 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." According to Manilow's publicist Jerry Sharell a decision on the suit is expected by Friday.
