KUALA LUMPUR, April 21 — Rock singer Nash or Datuk Nashruddin Elias, 66, has successfully undergone surgery and is now in stable condition after being rushed to Hospital Sultan Idris Shah (HSIS) Serdang yesterday following a heart attack.

The development was shared by Konsortium Industri Rakaman Music Malaysia (IRAMA) president Ayob Abd Majid, who said he received updates from the singer’s son, Shameer, according to Berita Harian. 

Ayob said Nash was taken to hospital immediately after suffering the heart attack in the morning before undergoing the procedure.
