Deep Purple have postponed two concerts in Germany after frontman Ian Gillan was taken to hospital following a medical emergency. The band had been due to play at Leipzig’s QI Arena on October 31 and Hamburg’s Sporthalle on November 1.

The group announced the postponements on Saturday. It has shared no further details about the emergency or Gillan’s condition.

Deep Purple said it was working to arrange replacement dates for both shows. Tickets already purchased will remain valid for the rescheduled performances.

The band is currently scheduled to resume its European tour at Dortmund’s Westfalenhalle on November 3, followed by a show at Berlin’s Uber Arena the next evening.

The tour will then continue in the UK, with dates in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London. The concerts support the band’s album ‘Splat!’, released in July via earMUSIC.
