Glenn Hughes is home after a 10-hour open-heart surgery
Glenn Hughes kept performing through the summer, but he had to announce his retirement from touring and live shows when doctors told him he needed another open-heart surgery. "The results from numerous MRIs, CT scans, and an echocardiogram have alerted my medical team, that I need another open-heart surgery," he said at the time.
"I really have no option and no choice as health is my number one priority," he told fans, thanking them for walking beside him.
Now there's good news. The operation took a staggering ten hours, and Hughes is back home.
Now home after an eight day stay, and a 10 hour open heart surgery, operation, at UCLA, Ronald Reagan, Medical Center. Gratitude beyond.Glenn Hughes
He may be off the road, but there could still be a song or two to come. Over five decades he has released more than a dozen studio albums, on top of his time with Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.
