Sir John Tavener seriously ill in hospital following a heart attack. The 63-year-old, who suffers from a rare genetic disorder, fell ill just weeks before the world premiere of his ambitious Requiem took place in Liverpool, as part of the city's European Capital of Culture celebrations. Tavener, who survived a stroke when he was just 30, has Marfan Syndrome, an inherited condition that attacks the body's connective tissue.
