Dave Gahan, the lead singer of Depeche Mode was rushed to the hospital in Athens, Greece forcing the band to cancel their show. According to the reports, 47 year old Dave Gahan was treated by a private clinic for “suspected gastroenteritis”.
20,000 Depeche Mode fans gather in the Terra Vibe park to see the band but were told by the organizer that the concert had to be cancelled because Dave Gahan fell ill.
Depeche Mode is currently on tour promoting their newly released album Sounds of the Universe. The Tour of the Universe has gigs lined up all the way till February 2010. There have been no indication whether Dave’s illness could result in further show cancellations. Hope he pulls through. I’ve been listening to Depeche mode since I was a young teenager. Strange Love is still one of my most favorite songs, even though most Depeche Mode fans don’t consider it anything special. It’s also a shame that I have never seen Depeche Mode live and I did check out their tour schedule but they only have two shows lined up in Canada, both on the East. That sucks! Anyway, I want to wish strength to Dave Gahan. Hope he pulls through and the band gets back on the road.
