Peter Murphy back ‘up and running’ after heart attack

Bauhaus star Peter Murphy has “made a full recovery” following a heart attack which forced him to postpone a string of concerts.
The Bela Lugosi’s Dead singer was taken to hospital earlier this month (Aug19) with respiratory issues, with doctors later determining he was suffering a myocardial infarction.
But Peter took to Instagram on Sunday (25Aug19) to reassure fans about his health, writing: “Following my recent episode in New York City with my heart attack and being admitted into Lenox Hill Hospital and seeing myself go through the rigors of intensive care, I am very happy to say that I have made a full recovery. Thanks to the superb team of doctors, specialists, nurses and care staff. I am so glad to say I am up and running again.
“My tour manager Brian Lowe and my assistant Chantal Thomas were directly instrumental in saving my life and to whom I cannot thank enough,” he added. “I also want to thank every single friend and fan who has been supporting me throughout this ordeal. I remain grateful especially to my Bauhaus band mates.”
Peter concluded his post by telling fans that instead of sending him gifts or flowers as he continues his recovery, he’d prefer a donation to The American Heart Association.
