Rock legends Deep Purple postpone UK tour dates including Newcastle after medical emergency

Deep Purple have postponed their remaining UK tour dates, including performances in Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and London scheduled for November. The decision follows a medical emergency involving Ian Gillan, who required urgent medical attention. A formal statement was issued on Monday evening to confirm the delay of these shows, which were part of the band's Splat! World Tour. The rock legends will reschedule the affected dates once the situation is resolved.
