Barry Manilow fans can rest easy.
Despite a report that the popular crooner is fighting for
his life, a rep for Manilow tells Access Hollywood that his health is intact and he has never suffered a heart attack.
“Mr.
Manilow was not airlifted to Cedars with a heart attack,” the rep said on Wednesday, shooting down
claims that the “Copacabana” singer underwent emergency care back in October after experiencing heart palpitations.

“It is indeed an established fact that Mr. Manilow
does have atrial fibrillation, but he has never had a heart attack nor is this
a concern,” the rep clarified of Manilow’s condition.
The 72-year-old icon is currently wrapping the final leg of
his farewell tour, “One Last Time.”
