Yesterday (28th), Mariah Lynch posted an update on guitarist Richie Faulkner’s condition after it was revealed on Monday that the Judas Priest guitarist had to undergo emergency heart surgery.

In an Instagram post Lynch, who is Faulkner’s significant other, posted:

“Thank you to everyone for all your messages 🙏🏼 I will try to get back to you as soon as I can ❤️ Richie underwent major emergency heart surgery. He is stable & resting 🥳 If you know him, you know how tough & strong he is. So tough that he finished the show & kept the hair flips coming. There’s no one like him. We’d be lost without him 🌹 #HotDad.”

This situation has caused the Judas Priest to postpone the remainder of the US tour until further notice.
