Deep Purple<\/a> frontman Ian Gillan is in hospital following a “medical emergency” that has forced the band to postpone two shows in Germany.<\/p>\n

The band’s appearances at Leipzig’s Qi Arena tonight (October 31) and at Hamburg’s Sporthalle tomorrow (November 1) have been pulled.<\/p>\n

As it stands, the November 3 show in Dortmund is still scheduled to go ahead. Deep Purple have a string of European and UK dates booked through to November 25 before they head to Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Mexico in December.<\/p>\n
