Veteran rock musician Dave Edmunds, 81, has been hospitalized after suffering a “major” cardiac arrest in late July, according to a Facebook post from his wife of 40 years, Cici Edmunds. She described the harrowing incident, stating that Dave “died in my arms” until a nurse was able to revive him with “heavy CPR.” Dave was subsequently taken to an intensive care unit, where he was intubated. Cici revealed that Dave is now experiencing “brain damage and severe memory loss,” among other medical complications. Cici expressed the immense difficulty of the situation, but noted that the support from kind-hearted people has made the journey a bit easier. Edmunds found breakthrough success with the blues rock band Love Sculpture in the 1960s. He later embarked on a solo career, releasing his debut album “Rockpile” in 1972, which included the hit cover of “I Hear You Knocking.” (People)
