During a recent interview with The Metal Voice, Anvil’s Steve “Lips” Kudlow revealed that he is currently suffering from atrial fibrillation. The musician will soon be undergoing a heart procedure to deal with the issue.
Kudlow said the following while discussing touring plans:
“We’re not doing anything until the new album comes out. And that could be not till next summer. Yeah, and between November and, I guess, May or June, I’m gonna be getting a procedure done to my heart, which is… I’ve got this, um, I’ve got atrial fibrillation, which is not a good thing. They’ve gotta put a wire into a vein and then up into my heart and burn some nerve endings that are making my heart beat irregularly. And that’s how they fix it. It’s not open surgery or anything. It’s like two hours out, you’re out. But the thing is, it’s a huge backlog in patients for it, because this is really, really common. And, of course, I’m a baby boomer and the hospital is packed with us. So, in any case, that’s what I’m gonna be doing probably in November or December. And then, after that’s done, I’m gonna probably begin writing for the next album, album 21. And by the time that we go out on tour for the newest album that I just finished, like the last time, I’ll have another new album already written. It’s a cycle.”
He also said the following while discussing the possibility of future albums earlier in the chat:
“I’m fucking 67. I’ve got heart problems. I don’t know how much longer I’ve got. Life has a beginning, middle and end. That’s the way it works for everybody. No one gets out alive.”
