Blaze Bayley will undergo triple bypass surgery after suffering a heart attack last Saturday, the 25th. This information comes from representatives of the former Iron Maiden member.
Myocardial revascularization (CABG) is a procedure performed to improve blood flow to the heart. The surgery involves taking blood vessels from another area of the body to bypass the damaged arteries.
Bayley was on tour promoting his solo album War Within Me (2021) when he suffered the heart attack. The tour is currently suspended.
The vocalist's manager and agent, Mark and Christopher Appleton, spoke about his health: "We visited Blaze in the hospital! He's in good spirits and sitting up in bed. We talked and laughed, normally. Blaze certainly hasn't lost his humor and strength. In the next few days, he will undergo surgery, so his recovery will take a few months. However, Blaze is looking forward optimistically to a full recovery and good health and physical fitness. We will keep you updated on what happens."
They also added that fans who wish to help Bayley financially during her recovery period can purchase products from her online store . Bayley and her team also thanked everyone for the messages of love and support they have received.
