Little Richard has revealed that he recently suffered a heart attack. Speaking to Cee Lo Green in an on-stage interview, the 80-year-old rock’n’roll singer<\/a> divulged that he had almost died in Nashville about a week before.<\/p>\n

Richard made the remarks during an appearance at Atlanta’s W Hotel to launch a series of music debates: “The other night, I didn’t know I was having a heart attack,” he said, according to Access Atlanta<\/a>. “I was coughing, and my right arm was aching. I told my son, ‘Make the room as cold as ice.’ So he turned the air-conditioning on, and I took a baby aspirin. The doctor told me that saved my life. Jesus had something for me. He brought me through.”<\/p>\n

Although the Tutti Frutti<\/a> singer appears to have fully recovered, he reportedly travelled from Nashville to Atlanta on a tour-bus fitted with a hospital bed. The singer seemed to be full of thoughts about the afterlife and spoke often and stridently at the appearance about his identity as a Christian and his relationship with God: “God talked to me the other night,” he said. “When I talk to you about [Jesus], I’m not playing. I’m almost 81 years old. Without God, I wouldn’t be here.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the interview, Richard and Green traded a cappella ditties and sartorial compliments. “I wanted to wear something fabulous to make sure you didn’t miss me,” said Green \u2013 wearing a sparkling golden tunic. “When you came in,” Richard replied, “I said, ‘He looks like the living flame!'”<\/p>\n

Admitted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at its inaugural ceremony, in 1986, Little Richard last released an album in 1992.<\/p>\n
