Jon unavailable for Hagen concert

Unfortunately, due to on-going medical treatments Jon will not be able to perform in Hagen, Germany on July 6th. He was set to perform his Durham Concerto and a selection of other pieces.

Jon wishes to assure everyone that this is not a matter for concern, but it is a continuation of his regular treatment that has just taken longer than anticipated. He and the Hagen Philharmonic Orchestra hope to be able to reschedule the concert for later in the year.

He apologises to everyone for any inconveniences this may have caused, particularly the wonderful people of Hagen, their terrific orchestra and all those who may have bought tickets, and he looks forward to seeing them all soon.

For ticket refunds, please contact Hagen’s Theaterkasse or your Eventim ticket agent.

  14. The main goal is beating the cancer! No need for apologies, just get well.

  15. Very, very sad to hear this! But it is probably better to go on with the treatment, instead of endangering everything with too early appearances.
    Lots of love, and all my best wishes for an ongoing recovery!

  16. Hope to see you soon in Holland. Take care ant take your time to get wel,
    warm greetings from Johan at The Netherlands

  27. Some months ago you told me in Sofia that the music is the only international language. I wish, I could tell you today with music how deep my love to you is.

    Rest in piece, dear friend! See you there.

  30. It speaks volumes about the man that his concern was to reassure people there was no need for concern and to apologise. 😦

    RIP Jon Lord and Thank You. xx

  31. Your spirit will alway be around us and keep it until we come together one day at the same place where you are just now.

  40. Dejen de decir que “Jon Lord PERDIO contra el cancer. Jon Lord sufrio una enfermedad tremenda, y lucho contra algo casi imposible.
    Todos nos vamos de una manera u otra, sin perder nada, solo nos vamos por asi es la vida. Jon Lord fue un ganador en TODO. Un Maestro inolvidable,irrepetible.

  41. Not that it matters because of what a joke it has to be, but Deep Purple never inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame, at least not during Jon’s life. What a sad, rude, ugly insult. I shall never forgive the idiot bastard morons that decide whom to allow into that shallow rat hole. Really, not Deep Purple??? Ugh. God speed Jon, you blazed the hard rock keyboard trail eternal.

  42. everyone will recouer though the impact is hard alk of you a good recover .remember jon is not suffering anymre rest in peace jon thankts says:

    may jon rest in heaven

  43. I miss Jon,but,he is in a far better place.I envision him up in heaven,playing a huge grand organ,and God is grooving to the music! (I know it sounds silly,but that’s what’s in my head. I hope to be there someday,to see the this organ maestro!

  45. realmente uma grande perda ….. para sempre será lembrado por todos que vivemos os anos 70 e aprendemos a amar a música em especial o deep purple
    fique com deus em sua passagem .
    really a great lost in specialy for all that living the seventies and learn to love music , in special .. deep purple .
    be with god em your journey to heaven.
