King Crimson guitarist Robert Fripp says he is still confused about an incident from after his heart attack last year, when hospital staff shaved him while he was being treated. In recent comments updating his health, Fripp recalls that the person shaving him did not explain the reason for doing so. He has continued to speak about the unusual detail despite his recovery. Multiple reports say Fripp is now doing much better and recently gave his first live performance since the heart attack. That performance took place last month at Church of Sant'Alessandro Martire in Italy. One outlet also notes Fripp turned 80 last week, framing his current status as an ongoing recovery and return to public appearances. Across the coverage, the central point is that Fripp’s medical condition has improved, but he remains without a clear explanation for the shaving. The reports do not include a confirmed medical rationale from the hospital and instead focus on Fripp’s personal uncertainty.
