David Gahan, frontman for Depeche Mode, was rushed to a hospital in Athens, Greece Tuesday night just moments before he was supposed to appear onstage.The 47-year-old singer fell ill in his dressing room, forcing the band to cancel their performance at the last minute.
Depeche Mode is currently promoting their new album, Sounds of the Universe, with shows scheduled through February 2010. Their performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” last month drew more than 12,000 fans - the largest audience the show has ever seen.
The band, which emerged in the early 1980s, has sold more than 75 million albums worldwide. Gahan has been the lead singer since their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980.
Although few details are available about Gahan’s condition, reports have emerged that he may be suffering from gastroenteritis (tummy flu).
