David Gest in hospital after heart scare

US music producer David Gest has been rushed to hospital after experiencing severe chest pains early on Wednesday morning. The star, friend of Michael Jackson, was at his London home when taken in and was rushed to a nearby private hospital. The 54-year old is said to be in a stable condition. The illness comes just days after his ex-wife Liza Minnelli was hospitalised after collapsing after appearing on stage in Sweden.

David Gest is putting together a stage musical autobiography of his life entitled DAvid Gest Is Nuts. It is due to tour the UK early in 2008. Tickets can be bought - here -
