Dionne Warwick ignored warnings about her ailing back and flew to New York to perform at a tribute, despite collapsing hours earlier at the Los Angeles airport. The 50-year-old Grammy-winning singer flew in a private jet Saturday and arrived while the Friars Club salute to Arista Records chief Clive Davis was under way at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Lee Solters, club spokesman, said Warwick had been warned by doctors not to fly. Warwick sang "I'll Never Love This Way Again" with Barry Manilow.
