Veteran Rocker Fabian Forte Recovering
VETERAN ROCKER FABIAN FORTE
RECOVERING FROM HEART SURGERY
Former Chancellor Records recording artist and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native Fabian Forte has been sidelined from live performance for a brief season, as he recovers from heart surgery performed in Pittsburgh on 07 April.
Forte, who tours regularly with fellow Philadelphia veteran rockers Bobby Rydell and Frankie Avalon, underwent an aorta route, a valve replacement and a bypass. He is presently recovering at home.
An influence on such artists as the New Colony Six (who acknowledged him in the sleeve notes of their second album, Colonization) and Dion DiMucci (who covered his material), Forte was responsible for one of rock and roll's defining moments with his utterly stupendous 1959 Chancellor label single, Turn Me Loose. Here is a live American Bandstand clip from that year, in which Forte reprises that classic moment:

Fabian had heart surgery on April 7th
From Andrea Patrick Forte -
I wanted to let everyone know that my husband Fabian had heart surgery on Monday April 7th at Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh. He came through his surgery beautifully-a surgery that typically takes six hours he came through in less than four and is now recovering. He had an aorta route, valve replacement and one bypass done. We have been monitoring this for a few years now and this was the time t...o have this done. We would like to thank his surgical team, his heart doctors, nurses, staff of Shadyside and our family and friends who knew this was happening. We hope that all of you will join in to send your thoughts and prayers as he continues in his recovery. He will be back on stage performing again in a few months.
As his wife, I'd like to say this. I've always known he was a survivor his entire career and life and now he's not only the love of my life-he is my HERO.
