Gang Starr MC Guru 'Recovering In Hospital After Heart Attack'

Gang Starr rapper Guru is recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack at the weekend, his partner DJ Premier has said.

Initial reports said the MC, real name Keith Elam, had slipped into a coma after being taken ill on Sunday.

But in a message on Twitter, DJ Premier wrote: “Don't believe rumours, pray people, pray!!”

And in a new update today (March 2), Premier told his followers that the rapper's surgery had been “successful”.

“Keep sending him love,” he added.

Spin magazine reports that Guru is receiving treatment in a New York hospital.

Formed in 1985, Gang Starr are best known for their unique combination of New York swing jazz and hip hop.

Their hits include 'Ex-Girl To The Next Girl' and 'Positivity'. The duo recently denied reports they were set to reunite.

I am so happy that the Guru is recovering, prayer changes things. I wish people wouldn't automatically put that someone has passed away when something happens, I was so distressed this morning when I heard that, thank God it was just a nasty rumor. I am still praying for you and your family Guru, get well soon.
