In a newer announcement according to the singer’s personal account:
As you know, since his heart attack, Blaze is awaiting heart surgery. This week he was transferred to a special cardiology unit and this afternoon he was taken to the operating theater for a triple bypass. This is the first important step in starting his treatment and recovery.
Blaze is an absolute Warrior and I know you will all join us in sending him your love, support and energy for a successful surgery and a very positive recovery to good health afterwards.
It will be several hours before the operation is complete, but we will update you again as promised and when we have more news.
“Thank you all. You know how much your support means.”
Mark Appleton, Christopher Appleton.
