Legendary front-rower Sam Backo is set to undergo a triple bypass surgery after suffering a major heart attack earlier this year.

The 62-year-old was recovering from surgery on both his knees in the Cairns Base Hospital when he suffered a heart attack.

Backo has since been stabilised and had three stints inserted into his heart and will now travel to Prince Charles Hospital in Brisbane for major surgery on May 20.
