Slipknot's Shawn 'Clown' Crahan faces urgent heart surgery after near-death scare

Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, a founding member of the heavy metal band Slipknot, is set to undergo heart surgery. The procedure comes after he experienced severe symptoms, including a racing heart and moments where he felt he was 'dying'. Doctors have confirmed the issue lies with his heart’s electrical system.

Crahan first noticed something was wrong after his last tour. He struggled with persistent discomfort, leading to further medical checks. During one episode, he briefly lost consciousness, and medics initially feared he was having a heart attack. A nurse later attempted an EKG but couldn’t get a proper reading due to his unstable condition.

The surgery required is described as relatively straightforward. Unlike more invasive procedures, it won’t involve opening his chest. Instead, doctors will focus on correcting the electrical signals in his heart. Crahan is expected to recover quickly, with plans for a same-day discharge following the operation.

The operation aims to resolve the irregular heart rhythms that have plagued Crahan. Once completed, he should no longer experience the extreme symptoms that left him feeling close to death. His medical team remains confident about a smooth recovery.
