King Diamond Undergoes Heart Surgery

King Diamond, one of heavy metal's most unique voices, underwent a triple bypass heart surgery about 3 weeks ago, his fiance reports.

King hasn't been in good health for some time, but this came as a shock to both myself and the metal world at large. Only in his mid-50's, it seems a bit early to be knocking at death's door so readily.

I know I speak for a legion of loyal listeners when I say that the King's work was extremely influential to me, both in musical guidance and musical playing, so I send whatever good tidings I can to him and his wife in this dark hour.

You should too, or else.

Keep an ear to the ground and a foot in the pit,

Eric
