Kim Mitchell Recovering From Heart Attack

Sarnia-born rock musician Kim Mitchell is recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack on Tuesday.

The 63-year-old Mitchell underwent emergency surgery according to a Facebook message posted by Alert Music, his management company.

It's expected he'll remain in hospital for another day or two before returning home.

Some of his best-known hits include ``Go For Soda,'' ``Patio Lanterns'' and ``I Am A Wild Party.''

Mitchell returned to his hometown last August to perform at the International Powerboat Festival.
