Czech pop singer recovering from abdominal surgery

Czech pop singer Karel Gott is recovering from abdominal surgery at the Institute of Clinical and Experimental Medicine, not heart surgery as previously reported, the singer’s spokesperson told journalists on Friday. Reports on the singer’s health have been filling the Czech media since he collapsed in his Prague villa on Sunday. Gott, 76, is known to be suffering from heart arrhythmia which may have led to the misleading information regarding his current health problems.
