Aerosmith drummer Joe Kramer recently guested on The Eddie Trunk Podcast and discussed his recovery from minor heart surgery to remove blockage from inside a coronary artery. Go to the 27:30 mark to hear the interview
Kramer: "I had an angioplasty done, and they put two stents in my heart. And now I feel better than ever. And so, thanks to modern science, I'm back. My 'recupe' time was, like, five days, and I took seven, and I was back on stage. And now it's better than ever. I feel great and the playing is great. And that's the story."
Aerosmith was forced to cancel two shows in August "due to illness," which turned out to be Kramer's heart complications. He had no history of a heart condition prior to that.
