Update: Dave Gahan’s condition has improved last night and the band will be continuing onwards to Ukraine today for the show in Kiev tomorrow night. To the fans who had tickets to last night’s show in Minsk, there will be more information in the next few days.

The British band Depeche Mode is currently on a huge tour around the world (first leg of the Global Spirit Tour). Unfortunately today’s concert had to be cancelled due to serious illness of singer Dave Gahan. A first statement was posted on the official website here.

First rumours on local social media report that the singer poisoned himself or has gastro-enteritis. The band will give an update during the next days. At this moment it is not sure if the next concerts in Kiev (July 19) and Warsaw (July 21) will take place.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
