Deep Purplen keikkoja peruttiin, syynä rumpalin verenkiertohäiriöt

Deep Purple joutui perumaan viime tiistain Tukholman ja keskiviikon Göteborgin keikat.

Rumpali Ian Paicen sairastumisesta on annettu lisätietoa. Paice kertoo kärsineensä lievästä verenkiertohäiriöstä.

Rumpali kertoo heränneensä tiistai-aamuna tuntien oikean puolensa tunnottomaksi. Sairaalassa miehen todettiin kärsivän ohimenevästä aivoverenkiertohäiriöstä.

Paice lienee soittokunnossa ensi kuussa kiertueen jatkuessa.

"On the morning of the 14th of June, I woke up to find that the right side of my body was feeling numb and I could not control my right hand and fingers. So I had myself admitted to hospital where I was diagnosed with having suffered a 'mini-stroke' or TIA. The hospital staff in Stockholm were amazing and started my treatment straight away.

"After both CT and MIR scans, there was found to be no serious or permanent damage. As of this moment, all I am suffering is a slightly numb right side of the face a tingling sensation in my right hand. My dexterity in the hand is coming back quickly and I fully expect to recommence touring next month. So now I have a set of tablets which have to be taken every day to ensure it doesn't happen again".
