Glenn Hughes Says He’s On the Mend After Another 10-Hour Open-Heart Surgery: ‘All Is Well’

The former Black Sabbath and Deep Purple singer/bassist said he was in the hospital for eight days for the procedure.

Former Black Sabbath and Deep Purple bassist Glenn Hughes revealed on Instagram that he is recovering after undergoing a 10-hour open-heart surgery. The procedure, known as aortic valve replacement, was performed at UCLA Ronald Reagan Medical Center, the same place where Hughes had a similar surgery in 2013. The 75-year-old singer expressed gratitude towards his medical team and assured his fans that he is regaining his strength.

Earlier this year, Hughes had announced his retirement from touring due to health concerns and underwent several diagnostic tests, including MRIs, CT scans, and an echocardiogram, which led doctors to recommend another open-heart surgery. Despite the setback, Hughes remains optimistic, urging his fans to be grateful for the experiences they face and to find a greater purpose in their journey.
