Dutch singer Ben Cramer, 79, is back home after undergoing his third heart operation, Nieuws.nl reports. He told the ANP news agency the operation on Tuesday was successful, though he was experiencing back pain after spending more than three and a half hours in the operating theatre.
“I’m just in a lot of pain in my back. I think it’s because I was in the operating theatre for more than 3.5 hours. So that should get better, I hope,” Cramer said, in a translation of his remarks to the ANP.
Cramer had previously told De Telegraaf he had been suffering from breathlessness and reduced stamina. Tests found his heart was the cause, and it was initially uncertain whether he could undergo another operation because of his age and earlier heart procedures. His plans for the third operation were reported earlier this week.
