Dear Linda,
We all know how important he's for you. I wanted to inform you that my dad had a bye-pass operation 11 years ago and he's still playing tennis even today at the age of 68.
so this could probably be only a temporary inconvinience and I add my wishes to yours and everybody else's that he will recover soon.

Health wise, Emo's not been a "Lucky Man" of late - best wishes to him from one he inspired to buy a Hammond!

Well he's put this up on his website... so hopefully this means its not as bad as we thought... or it probably means he doesn't want to tell us everything... as usual.. but I can't blame him...
Dear Friends,
Although the initial news leak had me at death's door, I'm happy to report that I have not had a heart attack. A routine EBT scan gave cause for further investigation and I was advised by my cardiologists to pursue such before committing to a tour. I am currently in England for this purpose and will have a myocardial perfusion stress test on Wednesday. The result of this and other tests will determine whether further tests are necessary. I hope to keep you notified on the outcome.
Meanwhile I would like to sincerely thank all those who sent messages wishing me well and hope, all being well, to be "on the road" soon.
Emo

He's on his way to England today to get a second opinion. I'm hoping its only necessary for him to do the stents.

He didn't liked the first opinion, so let's get another one
Anywhereabout. I wish him all the best, he's still young, so shouldn't be a real problem in the long run

First Wakeman retires, now Emerson gets an artery blockage? Oh lord.
My deepest prayers go out to you, Kieth!

I wouldn't have thought so. Just so long as he doesn't do what Wakey did in 1975 and really push his luck.

The thing about Keith for me is I guess I've loved him as pretty much a member of my family for over 30 years... He's always been a huge part of my life and as you all know, one of my heroes. I guess its just hard facing the fact that your hero may be mortal...
I'm sure he'll be just fine, its just I'm worried this might slow him down a bit....

May i say that most of the posts seem very gloomy indeed, geting a triple heart bypass or stenting of the heart is as routine as visiting the dentist. Stop being so gloomy and rejoice that the great man will go on even longer now.

That's terrible to hear, but I'm sure he'll pull through it.

This is a very routine operation nowadays............Keith will be fine afterwards, and if he tours the UK i'll see him live......
