After canceling a series of tour dates, former Cream drummer Ginger Baker has updated fans on his status. Baker's group Air Force 3 was scheduled to play six U.K. dates and four U.S. dates beginning in April, but had to cancel after his docs diagnosed him with "serious heart problems."

Now Baker has taken to Facebook to further detail his condition.

"For those of you waiting for news of my health here's an update: cardiologist is brilliant," he began.

"Yesterday he inserted a tube into the artery at my right wrist and fed it all the way to my heart . . . quite an experience . . . he was taking pictures of my heart from inside . . . amazing technology . . . there are 2 options for surgery and depending on how strong my old lungs are they may do both . . . says he's going to get me playing again!! Thanks all for your support."

In the past Baker has dealt with several medical problems, including a respiratory infection, degenerative osteoarthritis and drug addiction.
