英国摇滚乐队 Deep Purple 10月31日宣布，主唱 Ian Gillan 因医疗紧急情况住院，乐队不得不取消当晚与次晚在德国的两场演出。Gillan 现年81岁，乐队没有公布他的具体病情。
被取消的两场演出原定10月31日晚在 Leipzig 的 QI Arena、11月1日晚在 Hamburg 的 Sporthalle 举行。乐队在声明中说：「我们理解这一消息公布得非常临时，与所有歌迷一样深感失望。」乐队表示正全力寻找合适的改期日期，已经购票的观众所持门票在改期场次继续有效。

Deep Purple Singer Ian Gillan Hospitalized After Medical Emergency, Band Postpones Two German Shows
British rock band Deep Purple announced on October 31 that singer Ian Gillan has been hospitalized after a medical emergency, forcing the band to call off two shows in Germany this weekend. Gillan is 81, and the band shared no further details about his condition.
The cancelled shows were scheduled for October 31 at the QI Arena in Leipzig and November 1 at the Sporthalle in Hamburg. "We understand that this announcement comes at short notice and share the disappointment of all our wonderful fans," the band said, adding that it is focused on finding suitable dates to reschedule both shows and that tickets will remain valid.
Gillan joined Deep Purple in 1969, replacing original frontman Rod Evans, and became the band's defining voice on classics such as "Smoke on the Water" and "Child in Time." The current line-up also includes guitarist Simon McBride, bassist Roger Glover, drummer Ian Paice and keyboardist Don Airey.
Deep Purple have been on their "SPLAT!" world tour since early August, with the next German date currently scheduled for November 3 in Dortmund and the tour running through December. According to People, former member Glenn Hughes also stepped away from touring in August ahead of heart surgery.
