Peter Murphy postponed his New York residency earlier this month after suffering a heart attack. Yesterday Murphy revealed in a new statement that he's made a "full recovery" and thanked fans, his hospital care team, and tour staff for saving his life. Perhaps the most uplifting part of the statement -- other than knowing he's doing just fine -- is the final line of the statement where he mentions being grateful for his Bauhaus band mates.

A personal statement from Peter:
Following my recent episode in New York City with my heart attack and being admitted into Lenox Hill Hospital and seeing myself go through the rigors of intensive care, I am very happy to say that I have made a full recovery. Thanks to the superb team of doctors, specialists, nurses and care staff. I am so glad to say I am up and running again.
My tour manager Brian Lowe and my assistant Chantal Thomas were directly instrumental in saving my life and to whom I cannot thank enough. I also want to thank every single friend and fan who has been supporting me throughout this ordeal. I remain grateful especially to my Bauhaus band mates.
