Dave Gahan has tumour removed, gets back to touring
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 29 May 2009
Depeche Mode frontman Dave Gahan has undergone surgery to remove a tumour after he fell ill in Athens earlier this month, shortly after the start of the band’s latest tour. Although, as previously reported, it was a bout of severe gastroenteritis which hospitalised the singer, further medical tests uncovered a lowgrade malignant tumour in his bladder.
After a quick recovery, the band will resume the tour in Leipzig in Germany on 8 Jun. However, this does mean that the band’s planned date at the O2 Dome tomorrow night has been postponed. A new date will be announced shortly and all tickets will remain valid to the rescheduled show.
