Depeche Mode are pleased to announce they will restart their interrupted Tour Of The Universe in Leipzig, Germany on June 8th. On May 12th, lead singer Dave Gahan suffered a severe bout of gastroenteritis, leading to his hospitalization and the cancellation of the Athens concert. While in hospital, further medical tests revealed a low-grade malignant tumour in Dave's bladder, which has since been successfully removed. At doctors' orders Dave Gahan must take a break until June 8th, to ensure that he makes a full recovery. The Leipzig show on June 8th will be the first concert following Dave's recovery. Dave Gahan sincerely thanks his fans for their support, understanding and patience. Depeche Mode deeply regret any problems or inconveniences the cancellations and postponements may have caused. Romanian organizers are currently negotiating with the band's representatives in order to find the best possible solution for the concert's reschduling, more time beeing needed to resolve venue availability and routing. Ticket holders for the previously cancelled shows, including Bucharest - who was supposed to take place on May 16th - are encouraged to hold on to their tickets pending a further statement, expected early next week.
