London, Mar 27: Multi-award winning singer Dionne Warwick has been forced to file for bankruptcy in New Jersey after being faced with paying a 650,000-dollar tax bill.
The 72-year-old singer's publicist Kevin Sasaki issued a statement explaining that the personal bankruptcy filing was due to negligent and gross financial mismanagement 20 years ago, which was later confirmed by her attorney Daniel Stolz, the Daily Express reported.
Stolz told Rolling Stone that Warwick had a business manager who mismanaged her affairs.
He said that Warwick actually paid more than the face amount of the taxes but with all the interest.

Warwick's publicist, Kevin Sasaki, said in a statement that the bankruptcy filing was necessary after the singer had "repeatedly attempted to offer re-payment plans and proposals" to tax authorities at the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board. "These plans were not accepted, resulting in escalating interest and penalties," Sasaki said.

Legendary singer Dionne Warwick has filed for bankruptcy after discovering she owes more than $10.2 million in taxes.
Warwick's publicist announced Monday that the "I Say a Little Prayer" singer cites fiscal mismanagement as the reason she owes so much, according to Reuters.
Warwick filed the bankruptcy papers March 21 in New Jersey. Most of the alleged "negligent and gross financial mismanagement" Warwick referenced occurred in the late '80s through the '90s.
Warwick listed her average monthly income as $20,950, with expenses totaling $20,940. Her publicist, Kevin Sasaki, says it is interest that Warwick is left to pay, as most of her back taxes were reportedly paid off.
"In light of the magnitude of her tax liabilities, Warwick has repeatedly attempted to offer re-payment plans and proposals to the IRS and the California Franchise Tax Board for taxes owed," Sasaki said. "These plans were not accepted, resulting in escalating interest and penalties.

Comedians Visit Dangerfield in Hospital
Comedians Jim Carrey, Jay Leno, Adam Sandler and Roseanne have all given veteran funnyman Rodney Dangerfield a boost following his heart surgery, by paying him visits. The 82-year-old star has enjoyed a parade of recent visits from fellow comic stars at California's UCLA Medical Center. Dangerfield is conscious and in stable condition but has remained hooked to a respirator in the intensive care unit since undergoing a heart valve replacement operation on August 15, according to publicist Kevin Sasaki. Dangerfield is making progress and "his full recovery is expected soon", but there was still no indication when he might be able to go home, says Sasaki. Several of Dangerfield's old friends, including Carrey, Roseanne, Andrew Dice Clay, Louie Anderson and Bob Saget, have stopped by to cheer up the man who helped launch their careers at his Manhattan, New York, nightclub. Dangerfield underwent double-bypass heart surgery in March of 2000 and had an operation three months later to correct an aneurysm.
