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.
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.
