Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan is in serious condition

Deep Purple frontman Ian Gillan has announced the postponement of the remainder of the band's European tour due to a serious medical emergency he experienced in Leipzig. The 81-year-old singer stated in a statement posted on the band's Instagram account that his condition required urgent hospital treatment and that continuing the tour would pose very serious risks to his health.
