## Summary

There is no new development in the supplied article: Deep Purple’s statement says Ian Gillan is hospitalised after a medical emergency, prompting the cancellation of two German concerts. The band apologised for the short notice and said it is working to reschedule both shows.

The Leipzig performance was due on 31 October and the Hamburg show on 1 November, during the group’s “Splat!” tour. Tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled dates; the band has not disclosed details about Gillan’s condition. Gillan is 81, and bassist Roger Glover has previously said the group intends to keep performing rather than stage a formal farewell tour.
