Well, we’ve all heard of someone getting their heart broken.  But since his split from Whitney Houston (they’re still embroiled in a bitter divorce/custody dispute) it seems to have happened, literally, to Bobby Brown.

The “My Prerogative” singer was complaining of chest pains Tuesday when he was taken to the hospital.  After an exam, it was determined that he had suffered a “mild” heart attack.

By Wednesday, the 40-year-old singer was described as being, “in great spirits with a great prognosis from his doctors,” according to a source close to him.

Brown’s rep told press, “He’s recovering nicely.  We thank everybody for their thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate the outpouring of support.”

The zinger of it all is that he’s scheduled to perform at the V100 Taste of Soul concert and festival in Los Angeles this weekend… and he still plans on going on with the show.  Brilliant.
