King Crimson founder Robert Fripp and his wife, Toyah Willcox, have temporarily paused their “Sunday Lunch” series, after Fripp suffered a heart attack.
On May 7, Toyah shared the following as part of her “Toyah’s Blog”:
“Two Saturday’s ago Robert had flown to Italy for work. The next day he sent me a text in which he said, ‘do not panic but I am in intensive care’. He’d had a heart attack, what he didn’t know after some phone calls from myself to the team looking after him is he possibly had had a silent stroke .
“The good news is all of this happened within the vicinity of one of the best cardiac units in Italy. Within minutes he was with the best cardiac surgeons and specialist available. It was a miracle. He had five hours of surgery to put the first stent in. He was in intensive care for a day, now he is doing incredibly well.
“When I talk to him there is very little different about him, he is obviously in shock and he has medication effecting him but he looks extremely well.
“He looks incredible and I actually think the stents where badly needed. He’s probably feeling the best he has in a long time. We think the heart attack may have happened on his flight returning from Miami four weeks ago .
“I have never felt so stressed in my life, I thought I was just going to pass out with stress. I did a lot of grieving. I was terrified, Robert had to have two surgeries. I realise that he was in the right place at the right time and his guardian angels took really good care of him so any of you that are alarmed by this, he’s in a really good place. He’s been saved.
“We both need to address getting rid of saturated fat from our diets. I eat a lot of butter and we need to get rid of sugar. Both of us have stressful lives and we need to dial that down. I’ve said to Robert I will change my diet. I will change my lifestyle to suit him and rather wonderfully and selfishly for me he says he wants more time with me and to be with me when I’m working, for me that’s the greatest news I could hear and I’m hoping that by May 26th (the astrological shift for the better) all our lives will be improve and this very difficult past 10 months will become something of a past that we never revisit again.”
The couple shared this week’s regular Upbeat Moments video yesterday (May 11) which saw them explain the situation further. They say Robert will be taking it easy for six to eight weeks, but that the “Sunday Lunch” series will continue. Watch the clip below:
