" It is with deep regret that we have to postpone the rest of our US Tour – Richie has major medical heart condition issues which have landed him in hospital where he is being treated – in the meantime we are all sending love to our Falcon to wish him a speedy recovery...

As soon as we have any updates from his doctors on when we can reschedule the dates we will of course announce them - tickets will be valid."

It seems Richie had a ten-hour open-heart procedure...some really serious stuff.

Just watched the footage of him shredding the Painkiller solo as his aorta was suffering a dissection. Absolute madman. I'm glad he's recovering.
