MANALAPAN, Florida (AP) -- Florida authorities say new age musician Yanni faces domestic battery charges.
He was arrested at his home Friday after an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend.
Yanni, whose legal name is John Yanni Christopher, denies the allegations.
Police say the singer-pianist asked his girlfriend, Silvia Barthes, to leave his beachfront home in Manalapan.
She told police she attempted to pack her clothing, but the 51-year-old musician assaulted her. Yanni told police the girlfriend kicked him, and he believed he injured his finger during the incident.
Yanni's manager calls the allegations "cruel, false, without merit and baseless."
