(New York City) Openly gay singer Kevin Aviance was listed in stable condition Sunday at New York's Beth Israel Hospital following what police are calling a vicious homophobic attack Saturday in the East Village.

Four men were later arrested on charges of assault as a hate crime. At least two others remain at large.

Aviance, 38, whose songs have topped the Billboard dance chart, was attacked as he walked home from the Phoenix where he had met friends for a drink.

Police said that the attackers yelled anti-gay slurs as they beat him.

Aviance managed to walk the short distance to hospital. He underwent surgery for a broken jaw on Saturday. His his publicist, Len Evans, said that Aviance's jaw is wired shut and he will not be able to perform in the upcoming gay-pride parade.

Evans said that while Aviance was being attacked people just passed by ignoring the bashing. Aviance performs in drag but Evans said he was ''dressed like a boy'' when he was attacked.

Aviance's song ''Alive'' hit the top of the chart in 2002. Other popular songs by the singer have included ''Give It Up,'' released in 2004, and ''Din Da Da,'' which topped the Billboard dance chart in 1997.

Police identified the four men arrested as Jarell Sears and Akino George, both 20; Gregory Archie, 18; and Gerard Johnson, 16.
