British heavy metal legends
Judas Priest were forced to cancel two shows ? July 1 in Belgrade, Serbia and July 2 in Zagreb, Croatia due to guitarist
Glenn Tipton "suffering from a very painful appendix inflammation." The group's management representative Jayne Andrews has since issued the following update:
"We are very pleased to tell everyone that
Glenn Tipton will be flying back out to Europe today (Thursday, July 3) to rejoin the tour and the show in Liberec (Prague) will be going on as scheduled!
Glenn has seen a specialist, and even though he is still not well and has to have more tests next week, he will be finishing off the rest of the European dates!"
