August 11, 2015, 9 years ago
Rigor Mortis/Warbeast vocalist Bruce Corbitt was scheduled to undergo heart surgery yesterday (Monday, August 10th) after experiencing two heart complications in less than five days last week, reports Dallas Observer.
Tthe 52-year-old Dallas native suffered two heart complications in less than five days, and at the ER, found that his heart was misfiring, which caused his blood pressure to skyrocket. The doctors told him that he would need heart surgery. After months of living healthy, even changing his diet, he finally agreed.
“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.”
The heart surgery was scheduled for Monday. The medical costs associated with his heart failure are also frightening. He's already dropped nearly $50,000.
Luckily for Corbitt, the local metal community is a family. Not long after word got out about Corbitt's heart complications, a Youcaring page appeared online seeking to raise money to help with his medical expenses: “Bruce has been there to help so many of us, and as a proud man, he will not ask for himself," the page says. "So let's all support him and donate.”
