Peter Murphy Suffers Heart Attack

Tweet

As the two or three of you that regularly read my discussions, I write about pioneering goth band Bauhaus a lot. I write about their offshoot band, Love and Rockets, often, and I work lead vocalist Peter Murphy's solo career into my music countdowns whenever I have the chance. Bauhaus is, simply put, one of my all-time favorite bands. Peter Murphy, it was announced earlier today, was hospitalized after suffering a heart attack last night. Murphy was in the midst of a solo residency in New York City, during which he performed specific solo albums in their entirety on a nightly basis. The vocalist, affectionately called "The Godfather of Goth," was rushed to a New York hospital and is being monitored. His final four residency dates, including both a Bauhaus tribute and a David Bowie tribute, have been postponed. Get well soon, Peter. We love you!
