During a recent trip to Italy, King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp suffered a heart attack he initially mistook for acid reflux. Fripp and his wife/collaborator, Toyah Wilcox, shared a video providing insight into the frightening incident, while updating fans about the music legend’s ongoing recovery from his health scare. “He had a heart attack two weeks ago,” Wilcox said in the clip. “And you were in the right place, in the right time, and I am so grateful, because you’ve been through a lot.” She later revealed that Fripp underwent “five hours of surgery, intensive care, then a second surgery.” Despite the ordeal, Fripp noted that after being released from the hospital in Italy, he still managed to play his scheduled gig. “You went to work,” Wilcox teased, and Fripp replied, “No, dear, I went to play with my friends. And the performance in the church at Castione della Presolana, it was stunning on the Saturday night. The audience were prepped with orchestral maneuvers, and it really was a magical event for me.” (Rolling Stone)
