And then Lindsay has a heart attack....
Quote:Former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham underwent emergency open heart surgery last week which resulted in vocal cord damage, his wife Kristen revealed on Facebook Friday.
"He is now recuperating at home and each day he is stronger than the last," she wrote. "While he and his heart are doing well, the surgery resulted in vocal cord damage. While it is is unclear if this damage is permanent, we are hopeful it is not."
Buckingham's rep Dana Erickson confirmed the rocker's hospitalization to USA TODAY.
Last April the band revealed Lindsey Buckingham would not be joining their upcoming tour, with Mick Fleetwood telling Rolling Stone the group "arrived at the impasse of hitting a brick wall." Buckingham subsequently sued the band for tour profits and told Rolling Stone they settled in December.
"This past year has been a very stressful and difficult year for our family to say the least," wrote Kristen on Friday. "But despite all this, our gratitude for life trumps all obstacles we have faced at this moment. We feel so fortunate he’s alive. As does he. He looks forward to recovery and putting this behind him. Needless to say, all touring and shows currently scheduled have been put on pause for the moment as he gathers the strength to heal completely."
As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
