German Schlager singer Heino, 87, revealed that he underwent heart surgery in June 2026 to prevent a potential heart attack. The procedure, performed at the University Hospital Salzburg, involved the insertion of two stents to keep his coronary arteries open.

The issue was identified via a myocardial scintigraphy scan, which detected narrowed coronary arteries that a routine ultrasound in May had failed to show. Heino noted that he had experienced no symptoms prior to the discovery and credited the specialized testing with saving his life.

Heino reported that the operation was successful and that he feels fit and energetic. He has since returned to the stage and expressed a desire to continue his career, citing a management contract that extends until he is 104 years old.
