Barry Manilow Breaks Nose by Walking Into Bedroom Wall in the Middle of the Night The Associated Press Published: Jun 4, 2003
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (AP) - Barry Manilow is trying to get the feeling again after walking into a wall in his bedroom and breaking his nose. But the singer, who's famous for his monstrous proboscis, is maintaining his typical self-deprecating humor about the injury on May 28.
"I veered to the left instead of the right and slammed right into the wall," Manilow saidin a statement Tuesday. "I may have to have my nose fixed and, with this nose, it's going to require major surgery."
The 56-year-old singer said that he'd returned to his Palm Springs home after spending two weeks in Malibu working on longtime friend Bette Midler's upcoming Rosemary Clooney tribute album.
In the middle of night, he awoke disoriented and walked into a wall. He passed out for four hours after the accident but was OK, his manager said.
On Wednesday, his publicist, Jerry Sharell, said the bruised entertainer didn't require surgery.
"The doctors say it should heal fine and continue to be big," he joked.
Manilow, whose hits include "Copacabana," "Mandy" and "Tryin' to Get the Feeling Again," said he'll seek a doctor's advice about whether to have surgery.

How did the wall make out?
To: Sub-Driver
I didn't even know this guy was still alive. Surely he can't be only 56 years old. I had him pegged for 80.
