Depeche Mode front man Dave Gahan is to resume touring after having a malignant tumour removed. 'Tour of The Universe' will resume on the 8th June and this interruption will not affect the date set to headline the Bilbao BBK Live festival (9th-11th July) in Spain.
The band temporarily cancelled their tour earlier this month after Gahan was diagnosed with severe gastroenteritis. Further tests revealed a malignant tumour in his bladder. The tumour has been successfully removed, but the singer has been ordered to rest for a couple of weeks.
A statement from the band reads: "Dave Gahan thanks fans for their support, understanding and patience. Depeche Mode deeply regret any problems or inconveniences the cancellations and postponements may have caused."
See the band's official website, Depechemode.com, for more details of the cancellations and re-schedules.
Bilbao BBK Live festival continues its £40 three day pass promotion (incl. camping). Headliners Depeche Mode (9th July) will be joined by Jane’s Addiction, Primal Scream, Kaiser Chiefs, Babyshambles, The Ting Tings, Placebo, Editors, Basement Jaxx, Gaslight Anthem, Supergrass, Dave Matthews Band, Motor and Fischerspooner. The line up is not closed yet so expect more exciting acts to be announced soon! For more info visit the Bilbao BBK Festival website
