The former Deep Purple man is undergoing treatment right now

Published 10th Aug 2011

In a post on his official website the legendary keyboardist revealed that he will be taking a break from live dates until he's finished treatment.

He said:

I would like all my friends, followers, fans and fellow travelers to know that I am fighting cancer and will therefore be taking a break from performing while getting the treatment and cure.

I shall of course be continuing to write music – in my world it just has to be part of the therapy – and I fully expect to be back in good shape next year.

God bless and see you soon

Jon

Needless to say our thoughts are with you, Jon. 

Get well soon
