Bobby Z - Recovers From Heart Attack


Bobby Z (Robert Rivkin), former drummer of Prince's band The Revolution suffered a heart attack yesterday. He had three arteries blocked, doctors managed to unclog two and are waiting for him to get stronger to unclog the third. 

Bobby Z is helped create the "Minneapolis Sound" in the 80s and holds until today a very special place in the music history of Minnesota. He also helped Wendy & Lisa with their first album in 1986, after they left the band.


He joined Prince on tours, videos such as "Uptown", "1999", "Raspberry Beret", the movie "Purple Rain", and more.

Wendy & Lisa are on their way to join Rivkin's family to give them their love in support in this difficult time. Prince also called Vicki Rivking, Robert Rivkin's wife.
