Former Yes keyboardist Rick Wakeman is undergoing surgery today, and even that he takes a lighthearted look at.
He writes on his website, “I mentioned last month about trying to get myself fit for the very busy time coming up from September through to the end of the year. Unfortunately, I have not got off to a great start although I did manage to lose a couple of kilo by having another drastic haircut!
“I had some nasty seborrheic keratosis warts on my head removed, which now means I can brush my hair without going ‘ouch’ at every other stroke, and so we now move on to my umbilical hernia which is being operated on this coming Tuesday (20th August)… nothing else has dropped off so far in the last few weeks so I’m well on my way to getting as fit as possible for the very hectic months ahead.”
Wakeman starts his final U.S. tour on October 4rd in Tarrytown, New York.
