John Roberts Hospitalized
Susan Forbes Hansen forwarded this to the folk-dj email list…
This from Cindy Mangsen about John Roberts: At the Old Songs Festival, in all the heat, John had chest pains and a racing pulse, and Bill Spence MADE him go to the hospital. The latest word is that John’s having open-heart surgery on Thursday. Serious blockages in several big arteries. It’s a good thing they got him in when they did. I talked to Robyn Boyd [Johns agent], and she says the prognosis is very good. He’s probably had some small heart attacks and not realized it. Apparently one artery is totally blocked, another is 80% blocked … so when he comes through this, he’s probably going to feel a WHOLE lot better than he’s felt in years.
Update: By all reports John is home recovering well and in good spirits.
