Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner revealed in a recent interview that he suffered a stroke a month after emergency heart surgery in 2021. Faulkner's initial surgery followed an aorta rupture during a performance. Despite this health challenge, he has returned to touring. In the interview, he described how the stroke, which was eventually diagnosed as a transient ischaemic attack (TIA), manifested while he was out walking his dog. This serious health setback significantly impacted his ability to play guitar, altering his life and career trajectory.
I went back in and we were walking the dog... I felt it come, I felt it, and it came over me and I knew it was coming.
I haven't felt comfortable up until this point... explaining what happened... I went back in there. And they basically said, what I think it was, was a TIA.
