This sucks. I feel really bad for both him and the people in Athens. The show was canceled at the venue. There's a video here of the announcement:

Nooooooooooooooo!! Get better Dave! Soon! Rock music needs you!

With the heroin problems/suicide attempt he had back in the mid-90's, I got worried when I first read this. Their new album is really good, best wishes on a speedy recovery Dave!

I thought the SAME exact thing.

For some reason, drugs/martial problems are going around as rumors, but the real cause is believed to be gastroenteritis. He had to cancel a few shows on the Touring The Angel tour and they kept a tight lid on what was wrong, but it just turned out to be laryngitis.

I like to think he's come a long that he wouldn't relapse and if he did the Depeche Mode camp would call him out on it. They seem to have a better chemistry now.

Hope he gets well soon.

Definitely. Not that I'm glad to hear he was rushed to the hospital with gastroentistinal problems, but considering my original thoughts, it's not as bad in comparison. Hope he's out soon!

get well soon

that's horrible for the people in Athens. and David.

Damn, hopefully he gets better soon. Violator is one of my favorite albums of all time.
