Corresponding to rock icon Peter Maffay: Operation on the arm is imminent!

The German rock legend Peter Maffay is facing an operation that forces him to cancel two short -term autograph sessions in Schwarzenfeld and Dortmund. Like OE24 , the reason for the cancellation is an injury to his right arm that urgently needs to be treated.

The 74-year-old suffers from an erosion in the tendon area of his right arm. These symptoms have accumulated over the years and have been tightened by decades of stage work, intensive guitar playing and a broken collarbone that he suffered in a motorcycle accident 50 years ago. The pain increased particularly when it was weight lifting, which ultimately led to an MRI that revealed the exact cause of the problems.

planned operation in Munich

The operation planned for Tuesday in Munich is carried out on an outpatient basis. During this procedure, an artificial tendon is to be fixed with an anchor in the bone to fix the erosion. After the operation, Maffay will be forced to protect his arm, which could affect his return to the stage.

Despite the challenges, Maffay expresses itself optimistic. He plans to fully recover until his next appearance in June. "I want to be the old one again at my concerts," he says, adding that he is aiming for a comeback with his guitar.

The fan community is concerned, but the fans appreciate Maffay's determination and passion for music. According to FOCUS, his recovery will be followed with excitement, and many hope for an sooner Return of the rock star onto the stage. The situation once again shows how vulnerable even great artists are due to their physical stress.
