Throughout his career, Barry Manilow has made media headlines on various subjects from his health to crashing his Range Rover. Some of the most memorable ones include:

He forgot to tell them in particular.

aye he's been married to gary kief since 2014

barry and gary, how sweet

'hey people i married a man three years ago and btw i am gay'

i thought it was a marriage of convenience

i guess this means "out" as in talking about it to the media.

Fiercely private, the pop icon recently welcomed PEOPLE into his Palm Springs home for an exclusive interview and photo shoot with his manager husband Garry Kief — and talked for the first time about their nearly 40-year romance. Says Manilow, “I’m so private. I always have been.”

And the couple has stayed together for 39 years, all while remaining mum on his sexuality — an open secret to some in his long-devoted, mostly female fan base, a shock to others — and even stepping out and living with once-rumored love interest Linda Allen during his relationship with Kief.

Manilow admits he’s always been hesitant to discuss the relationship — and to come out publicly, even after he finally married Kief in a clandestine ceremony at their 53-acre Palm Springs estate in April 2014.

Look the real thing about the People story is that for a couple that's been together for forty years, other dude looks like he just TURNED 40.

Which, hey, nice plastic surgery and hair dye if you can get it.

fairly certain he already had? hmm

@meakoopa
the third coming out is a celebrity rite of passage. first time is to the gays, second is to woke straights, third is midwestern moms.

respect to any pop musician still sitting at a piano and writing/editing music with pencil and paper.

Newflash: Tony Hart has died yet again

I'm finding it hard to do anything

Haha that scamp! I vaguely recalled him denying his sexuality in some old magazine and I just now found the very magazine while cleaning

q: I was wondering...you don't hear much about your personal life. I don't know, I never really thought about it, but...I was wondering...if you were gay?
a: Well, I'm not. No, no, I'm not. I've been married and I'm going with a girl right now.

(Magazine is an issue of Graffiti from early '88 and Manilow interview is accompanied by a semi-fictionalized "Barry Manilow - The Story" by none other than clemenza himself btw)

i think this needs to be shared with the class tbh

Fair enough...clemenza feels that it "hasn't aged well" but kindly gives permission for posting nonetheless. (I think it's just fine myself)
