Depeche Mode Cancel Gigs

Depeche Mode were forced to cancel yesterday's gig near Athens, Greece at the last minute after singer Dave Gahan came down with a bout of "suspected gastroenteritis" (more commonly known as the stomach flu) and was taken to hospital.

The British band have also cancelled their show slated for Thursday night in Istanbul, Turkey.

Fans are being told to hold on to their tickets for both dates, as they'll be honoured if the shows are rescheduled or refunded if they're canned.

Depeche Mode are touring in support of the recently released Sounds Of The Universe and, if Gahan gets better, you can see them here:
