JAKARTA - Bad news came from world rock music legend! Blackmore, who reportedly had difficulty continuing his musical journey due to his illness.

Blackmore's wife, fired Night, revealed that the former Deep Purple guitarist suffered a heart attack in 2023, resulting in his career stalled

Night said doctors had advised Blackmore not to rest. The 79-year-old guitarist also suffered from additional health problems, which have even led to quarrels between them.

Ritchie has actually been told by her heart doctor not to board the plane, saidten Night in a recent interview with Total Rock.

As a result of a heart attack about a year and a half ago, blackmore now has six stents. In addition, the guitarist also struggles with gout, inflammation, and problems on his back that have plagued him for years.

"I don't believe he's going to be 80 years old on April 14th which is crazy... he doesn't look like that, but doesn't act like that. But in the end medical things will happen to you," said the wife.

However, Night puts high hopes that Bad Blackmore can return to the stage for music.

"I've seen people younger than him in wheelchairs on stage doing what they're doing... (but) I don't think he wants people to see it that way," he said.

"From the fan point of view, I think people would love to be under the same roof as him and listen to him play whatever he makes," concluded Blackmore's wife.
