King Diamond had heart surgery in late 2012 and the whole ordeal sounds absolutely terrifying. Fortunately since then, Diamond has been trying to be a whole lot healthier and has even said that he'll be working on a new album now that he's doing much better.
Which of course begs the ultimate question that's absolutely related to his health – is King Diamond also King Bonin'? The answer is yes, according to Diamond's interview in Metal Hammer.
"I have become a lot healthier. I gave up smoking after my heart scare, my wife keeps me on a strict diet that I follow completely, and doctors are amazed at how healthy I am these days. Honestly, I think I am now healthier than I have ever been."
"I've also found that, since I made a real effort to have a healthy lifestyle, my voice has improved so much. I can now hit notes that were a struggle for me when I was younger. As for my sex life, that's just great now. And I am not saying that because my wife is sitting next to me!"
So Diamond has a great voice for a new album, is totally healthy, and bones like a champion. Whatever it takes, right?
