Robert Fripp had a heart attack in Italy

The video that every Sunday Robert Fripp And Toyah Willcox They publish on their YouTube channel this week was a little different from the usual. The two have in fact reported their fans on the state of health of Fripp announcing that the 78 -year -old English musician is observing a rest period due to a heart attack on last month.

This is the development of the facts: Fripp was preparing to fly to Italy to perform an event in Castione della Presolana, in the province of Bergamo. Robert had chest pains but thought they were due to gastroesophageal reflux, so he took flight to Italy, making sure that a doctor was present on his arrival. Once landed in Bergamo he was taken to the hospital, where he was immediately subjected to some exams and then hospitalized in intensive care before being subjected to two emergency surgical interventions.

In the video, which you can see below, Fripp tells his adventure with a smile, not failing to bring the most ‘funny’ sides back: “Well, here is the interesting part. I was in the emergency room without knowing what was going on, if not that I knew they would do something, then an attendant came and raised my balls! But why do you shave my balls? “.

Toyah does not get lost in chatter and goes immediately to the point underlining: “We are not allowed to have sex for a month. But I inspected it from top to bottom and it is very, very razed.” Fripp then said that he was diagnosed with a trophy artery and that two stents were inserted.

Among other things, Mrs. Fripp explained that very few members of the Italian medical staff spoke English and that the linguistic barrier therefore caused some problems. Like that Robert took off his clothes when he was asked what he wanted to eat. “They were complex moments,” confirmed somewhat amused Fripp.
