Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Band Postpones Remaining 2026 Tour Dates Following Frontman’s Hospitalization
Deep Purple have postponed the remaining dates of their 2026 European and UK tour after frontman Ian Gillan was hospitalised with a medical problem in Leipzig. Gillan said doctors warned of “very serious risks” if he continued performing, so the band decided to pause the shows on medical advice.
Gillan apologised to fans and said he was heartbroken to postpone the concerts. Deep Purple had been due to play in Germany, France, the Netherlands and the UK; the rescheduled dates are yet to be announced. The band also has December shows planned in Chile, Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, whose status is uncertain.
In short
- Ian Gillan was hospitalised in Leipzig.
- Deep Purple postponed the rest of its European and UK 2026 tour.
- The band’s December dates in South America and Mexico may also be affected.
