Robert Fripp Recovers from Heart Attack, Puzzled by Hospital's Groin Shaving Procedure

A weekday bagel. Dependable, satisfying, no fuss.
Summary
Robert Fripp, the 80-year-old King Crimson guitarist, has recovered well from a heart attack suffered last year and recently performed live again in Italy. However, he remains puzzled about a medical procedure during his treatment: why hospital staff shaved his groin area. He recounted the story humorously in a vlog with his wife Toyah Willcox, who suggested it might relate to a catheter insertion, though Fripp found the whole experience bewildering and amusing.
