"On the morning of June 14, I woke up to find that the right side of my body was feeling numb and I could not control my right hand and fingers.

"So I had myself admitted to hospital where I was diagnosed with having suffered a mini-stroke or TIA. The hospital staff in Stockholm were amazing and started my treatment straight away."

"After both CT and MIR scans, there was found to be no serious or permanent damage. As of this moment, all I am suffering is a slightly numb right side of the face a tingling sensation in my right hand."

"My dexterity in the hand is coming back quickly and I fully expect to recommence touring next month. So now I have a set of tablets which have to be taken every day to ensure it doesn't happen again."

"These are the first shows I have missed with Deep Purple since its formation in 1968. Thanks to all the people who have shown concern and sent their best wishes."

Ian was one of the main men for me when first learning to drum....
Mary Long, Super Trooper, Never Before, Place in The Line, Smooth Dancer, Rat Bat Blue.....
His snare rolls were spectacular.
I wish him the best

Youth is wasted on the young. One of my fave aphorisms...for a reason!

Along with "I'm not young enough to know everything"

I actually agree with that. Well said.

Great Ian solo from back in the day. His hand speed is absolutely nuts!

Huge influence to this 60 year old...
