Keb’ Mo’ undergoes open heart surgery

Keb’ Mo’ has revealed on his social media platforms that he underwent open heart surgery.

“I went in for shortness of breath thinking that I was having a lung problem, only to find out that it was my heart giving me trouble– a leaking valve. Due to the location of the leak, the fix was open heart surgery. While this was a serious procedure, my prognosis is incredibly positive and I’m doing well,” he wrote.

Keb’ Mo’ will forgo touring for the rest of 2024 to focus on his health and recovery. His fall tour has been rescheduled for 2025.

Keb’ Mo’ added, “Thank you for your support and good energy. Look after yourselves. See you in 2025!”
