Robert Fripp has heart attack.

From Rolling Stone:

Robert Fripp recently underwent two surgeries after suffering a heart attack he didn’t even know he’d had.

The King Crimson guitarist shared the story in a new video posted over the weekend alongside wife/collaborator, Toyah Wilcox. “He had a heart attack two weeks ago,” Wilcox said in the clip. “And you were in the right place, in the right time, and I am so grateful, because you’ve been through a lot.”

Fripp then explained the surreal sequence of events. Last month, the musician said he’d been dealing with what he thought was acid reflux in the weeks leading up to a trip to Italy for a show. Having endured something similar a few years prior, Fripp didn’t think much of it. But the day he flew to Italy, he said, he felt “more discomfort.” 

While Fripp’s team had already scheduled a doctor’s visit, upon landing, they decided to take him to a cardiac hospital in Bergamo instead. While Fripp said he thought the doctors would prescribe him some acid reflux medication, they ultimately alerted him to some alarmingly high troponin levels in his blood, which can be a sign of a recent heart attack.
