UPDATE Depeche Mode singer Gahan hospitalized. Cancellation of Bucharest gig "more than probable" – sources

Romanian organizers of a gig that Depeche Mode is due to hold in Bucharest this Saturday said they had no information of a cancellation, following reports that DM singer Dave Gahan was hospitalized, prompting the cancellation of a concert in Athens. But sources close to organizers, told HotNews.ro on Wednesday that it was „more than probable” that the Romanian concert will be cancelled.
