Legendary Ritchie Blackmore Spins Tall Tale of Vertigo, Cancels Concerts
Ritchie Blackmore, the iconic guitarist from DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW, recounts a harrowing bout with vertigo last November. This dizzying ordeal forced the cancellation of four shows in the six-date U.S. East Coast tour by BLACKMORE'S NIGHT, his renaissance-infused rock ensemble.

This incident underscores the often unpredictable nature of health, even for seasoned rock legends.
