Depeche Mode lead singer Dave Gahan falls ill, forcing cancellation of gig

A DEPECHE Mode concert had to be scrapped at the last minute after lead singer David Gahan was taken to hospital.

The influential British synth-rock band – whose hits include Just Can’t Get Enough and Enjoy The Silence – were due to perform in Greek capital Athens as part of their world tour.

But concert organisers told the 20,000 audience that the gig was being cancelled after Gahan, 47, fell ill in his dressing room with suspected gastroenteritis.
