Jack Bruce underwent his Liver Transplant operation on July 25, 2003, in London, England. The operation was due to the fact that Jack Bruce was suffering from liver cancer. The operation was a success. Jack Bruce remained in remission until 2009, when he had to cancel a tour in progress in order to receive treatment for cancer that had returned. That treatment was successful and Jack Bruce continues to perform musically today. His last musical performance was at Ronnie Scott's Club in 2011, a venue that was always one of Bruce's favourites.

Can you give your heart to somebody that has a bad heart?
Although popularized in fiction (TV, films), it is extremely rare to have "direct donation" of hearts (e.g. from a dying relative or friend). The "elective donor" process is becoming a common procedure for kidneys and for sections of the liver, where the donor will continue living after the transplant. But the heart is almost always a total transplant, and has to come from a recently deceased donor, one who dies from something that does not damage the heart. Doctors cannot approve the deliberate death of a healthy person even if it means saving another.
