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.

"These allegations are cruel, false, without merit and baseless," said the statement released by his manager, Danny O'Donovan. "At a more appropriate time and place, I hope and pray I will have an opportunity to address my fans and colleagues all over the world."

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.

The keyboardist and composer has sold millions of albums and performance videos worldwide. The Recording Industry Association of America database lists U.S. album sales as 11 million.

No one answered a call to a telephone listing for a John Christopher in Manalapan late Monday. But the musician said in a statement he was innocent.

I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that

It's hard to imagine him saying: "I'm Yanni B****! I ain't soft like John Tesh."
