Manilow is fighting fit

Barry Manilow is back to full fitness following the heart condition that left him hospitalised, but the scare has traumatised him.

The crooner suffered an atrial fibriliation that required surgery after falling ill at his home in Palm Springs, California, and admits his recovery and the period since has been "ups and downs".

The 62-year-old says: "I had this heart thing. Not fun. It feels like you have a fish jumping around in your chest.

"(But I'm) done with that craziness. I'm fine. I'm in great shape."
