IAN GILLAN - Australian Tour Dates Cancelled
December 13, 2006, 17 years ago
IAN GILLAN (DEEP PURPLE) guitarist Michael Lee Jackson has issued the following update:
"Hey friends, I'm very sorry to announce that the Ian Gillan Australian tour dates for January have been cancelled. The main reason for this cancellation is the bullet which remains in Rodney Appleby's (bass) neck from his recent shooting by a crazy neighbor who was trying to kill him. While Rodney is recovering well, and is expected to recover fully, at this point the doctors are advising caution for Rodney because they don't know what will be required to extract that bullet, or whether its current location will cause other problems. I know this will no doubt disappoint many of our Australian friends who were looking forward to the shows (as were we), but I'm highly confident we'll be back there one day when schedules permit, etc..."
