The British rock band made the announcement via Instagram on Saturday, telling fans it was ‘with great disappointment’ that their next two shows in Germany could not proceed as planned.
They revealed Gillan, 81, suffered a ‘medical emergency’ which ‘resulted in his current hospitalization.’
Besides Gillan, the current band members include Roger Glover, 80, on bass, Ian Paice, 78, on drums, Don Airey, 78, on keyboards, and Simon McBride, 47, on guitar. Former Deep Purple bassist
