JAKARTA - God Bless's bassist, Donny Fattah Gagola will perform heart surgery. By pass surgery will be carried out after Donny's health condition is stable.

"Heart surgery was indeed scheduled for today. But today it has not been carried out either. Still waiting for the results of the body condition check to be ready and safe for surgery," said Rocky, God Bless' manager when contacted Monday, March 14.

He explained that Donny's current operation was by pass. "For the past few months, there have been routine check-ups, if conditions are still possible, a bypass operation will soon be carried out. It has been 10 years since he put a ring on his heart," he explained.

Regarding Donny's latest condition, he is currently healthy. "Last week, we even had time to come to the band's practice for a gig. Even though they didn't play, they were enthusiastic about giving support. The message is God Bless, don't stop working even though he can't join yet," he explained.

If nothing goes wrong, Donny is optimistic that he can come back on stage with God Bless. "After being treated, it takes 2 months to recover. Now you can't lift weights, the bass is heavy," he said.

In addition to being one of the founders and bassist of the music group God Bless, Donny has been recorded as a member of the music group Gong 2000. Donny is often involved in cultivating the albums of several rock-inspired singers such as Ikang Fawzi, Nicky Astria.

Musical career began when they hit the rock scene at the Lemans Pub. At that time they still used the name Crazy Wheels which was the forerunner to the birth of God Bless which was formed on May 5, 1973, when they entered the stage of Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta.

He has released five albums plus two hit singles with God Bless. This is strong evidence that Donny has never been absent from the God Bless albums project. For fans of this group and lovers of Indonesian rock music, of course, they are familiar with Donny's songs such as Black Ant, She Passed Away, Musicians, Anak Adam or Satan Laughing.
