Richie Faulkner thanks his heart surgeon for saving his life: “My little girl saw me come home”

A little while ago, Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner was rushed into heart surgery after suffering a heart attack during a gig. Faulkner was taken to surgery, which eventually lasted up to 10.5 hours. The band’s upcoming tour was then postponed to give Faulkner time to recover. Faulkner underwent surgery at a hospital in Louisville.

Now, in a recent video chat, Faulkner has expressed his gratitude to the heart surgeon who operated on him, Dr Siddharth Pahwa. Faulkner thanks the doctor for saving his life.

“He said my life. My little girl saw me come home, and that just means everything. I thank him from the bottom of my heart”.
