Warbeast - Singer Undergoes Heart Surgery
According to the Dallas Observer, Rigor Mortis and Warbeast singer Bruce Corbitt has underwent heart surgery on August 10th after experiencing two heart complications in less than five days last week. In his latest video update, Corbitt has thanked fans for the support and says he is recovering.
The 52-year-old Dallas native was told by doctors that he would need heart surgery after finding that his heart was misfiring.
"It became very evident that I can't live a normal life anymore without doing the surgery, without fixing the problems," Coribtt said. "It's not fair to me, my wife, my family and my band to have to worry. It's no way to live: 'Oh we can't go out of town without worrying about his heart messing up.' Nah, it's worth the risk of surgery to live a normal life again. I feel like a walking time bomb."
Corbitt has reportedly already spent nearly $50,000 on the medical costs associated with his heart failure and a YouCaring page has been launched seeking to raise money to help with his medical expenses. According to Corbitt, Obamacare had forced him to get health insurance, but it only covers a portion of the expenses.
Along with this online fundraising effort, there will also be a benefit show with auctions and raffles on October 17th at The Rail Club in Fort Worth Texas featuring Wizards Of Gore (former members of the iconic Rigor Mortis) and other favorites.
