'90s Rocker Bruce Kulick Announces Exciting News Amid Health Battle
Bruce Kulick, the legendary '80s and '90s guitarist for iconic bands such as KISS and Union, has provided fans with an exciting update following his recent heart surgery. The guitarist shared the news via Instagram last Thursday, announcing that the procedure was a success.
Kulick has been transparent about his health throughout his career. The guitarist was born with an aortic birth defect which recently created a dangerous situation in his heart valve. While the surgery was a planned operation rather than an emergency procedure, as clarified by Kulick and his wife Lisa, fans remained concerned for the rock star's well-being.
Kulick took to instagram to share his progress post-surgery. "Heart valve surgery is a success! On the Road to recovery. Talking it one step at a time. Grateful for Lisa and all your love and support," he said. The rocker continued in the caption by thanking his medical team for facilitating his care, "Special thanks to my hearts surgeon and staff for treating me a rockstar!"
In the comments section, fans left a wave of supportive comments.
