Bowie undergoes emergency heart op

My hubby actually sat up in bed when he heard it come on the news...think as an old glam fan it was a real reminder of his age.

Bowie undergoes emergency heart op

Rock legend David Bowie says he cannot wait to get back to work following emergency surgery for a heart problem that forced the cancellation of his European tour.

The 57-year-old star was seen by doctors for a trapped nerve in his shoulder after playing a gig in Germany last month.

But it was discovered that he had "an acutely blocked artery" requiring an emergency procedure known as an angioplasty, his spokesman said.

Thousands of fans who had bought tickets for the remainder of the star's European tour dates were disappointed when he cancelled the shows, originally citing the trapped nerve problem.

But voicing his own frustration, Bowie said he regretted the fact that the gigs had had to be cancelled because "the last 10 months of this tour have been fantastic".

He added: "I can't wait to be fully recovered and get back to work again. I tell you what though, I won't be writing a song about this one."

Among the gigs that Bowie had to cancel was the T in the Park Festival in Balado, Scotland, this weekend, which he had been due to headline.
