Carl Palmer, the iconic drummer and last surviving member of Emerson, Lake and Palmer, underwent a heart procedure and is now recovering.
The 73-year-old musician underwent an atrial fibrillation ablation, a treatment for an irregular and chaotic heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. The procedure uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart to block the faulty electrical signals and restore a typical heartbeat.
On Wednesday (April 26, 2023),the following message was shared via Palmer’s social media: “This morning, Carl underwent a successful Ablation procedure to restore sinus rhythm as he was previously in Atrial Fibrillation. Carl would to thank his Consultant Cardiologist, Dr. Tushar Salukhe, who performed the procedure, and all the wonderful attending staff on the Sir Reginald Wilson Ward at the Royal Brompton Hospital in London who have been looking after him today”.
We wish Carl Palmer a speedy recovery!
