Richie Faulkner, guitarist of legendary heavy metal band Judas Priest, has been recovering peacefully from heart surgery after tearing his aorta in the middle of a gig. Faulkner underwent the operation, which ultimately lasted around 10.5 hours.

Faulkner seems to have recovered well, as the guitarist has now streamed a long music video from his home. Faulkner’s playing sounds and looks like things are getting back on track. Faulkner even said a while ago that he was playing guitar every day during his recovery.
