Hughes tour cancelled in both US and Europe
A couple of days ago, Glenn Hughes posted to his social media accounts that he had to cancel his upcoming US tour due to doctor’s orders. Today, the promotor for the gig in Sweden this summer, said that Hughes now has been ordered to cancel the European dates as well.

Don’t like this, but age gets us all. Glad I saw him with Rock Meets Classic, BCC and solo in 2025, three‘s the charm.
January 14th, 2026 at 23:12It seems like the time has inevitably caught up with our dear Mr. Voice of Rock.
Best wishes and vibes go to you Glenn, hope all is going to sort out well in the end!
He’s been a monster and seemed pretty invincible for last 2 decades – which is a really big feat, given the fact what he’s been through up to his 40s. His body has taken and sustained an awful lot.
January 15th, 2026 at 08:32Looking at Glenn and the likes of Keef, Ron Wood etc. I’m tempted to think that substance (ab)use for all its harm may actually contribute to longevity.
My dad-in-law passed a month ago at 80. He drank heavily and smoked about a pack a day. Never really had any chronic condition. Makes one think.
Wishing Glenn all the best anyway.
January 15th, 2026 at 10:30Hopefully he’ll bounce back 😊
January 15th, 2026 at 14:03Had hoped to see Glenn in South America recently. But after he ended one show early due to heat exhaustion…Then did another where he only played bass, and left the singing to the audience… Booking a trip to a town where he was playing seemed like too big of a gamble.
Then he cancelled the rest of the tour.
Now this.
Hope he can recover from whatever is ailing him.
January 15th, 2026 at 15:00@ 3 – if only Georgivs, I know what you mean, looking at the humour and all. Reminds me of the Mad comics from the 1970’s and a cartoon of a really old withered man, about 150 years old or so, cigarette in one hand, whiskey in the other. A couple of journalists asking him, ‘what do you attribute to your long life too?’ His answer of course is predictable. ‘Smoking continuously, drinking anything you can get your hands on, wild never ending debauchery and everything else that goes with it”. Something like that and I am sure it was a Mad magazine, maybe it was somewhere else. Cheers.
January 15th, 2026 at 22:34We hope to have good news in the next few weeks, and that Glenn doesn’t make us worry.
May the rock gods protect him!
January 15th, 2026 at 23:33@6
I was an avid reader of Mad; if I remember correctly that was a Dave Berg contribution.
January 16th, 2026 at 08:26@6 … and then there was this 111 yo man who was asked by a journalist how he got that old. ‘Garlic, son, garlic in the morning, for lunch and before bedtime.’
‘And that is so good for your body?’
‘I’ve no idea, son, but it sure keeps them women away!’
May Glenn get well soon! His shows last year sounded very promising to my ears. I sure hope there’s more to come.
January 16th, 2026 at 10:07#3 MacGregor – there is a joke regarding long-lived guy, who was asked what was the secret of his longevity. He answered that he is taking an alcohol treatment one day a year.
January 16th, 2026 at 11:43How much alcohol do you drink that day was next question. That day I do not drink at all….
Some people are just indestructible – Iggy Pop still lives too. My dad was a heavy smoker all his life – it‘s not what he died from nor anything related.
Life expectancy has a lot to do with genes unless some freak accident gets in the way. Not an excuse for damaging your body on purpose of course.
January 16th, 2026 at 14:07@ 8 – It could have been Russ, although I have just been having a look at a few online and there are other artistic comedians who also contributed. A faint memory there for me, although never totally forgotten. My younger brother had a collection of Mad magazines as he was into them big time back in the late 1970’s. Between those and Gary Larson’s ‘Far Side’, wonderful comedy. Looking at the absurdities of life, from all sides. Cheers.
January 16th, 2026 at 20:19Gary Larson it could possibly be, either of those two comics and I think it was actually an old lady who was in bed celebrating her 100 birthday or even older than that, and being asked about her secret to her longevity of life. Let’s face it, apparently women do live longer than men, so it makes sense in that regard. The moral of the story of course is the same.
January 16th, 2026 at 21:45The MAD magazine was a huge…game changer – as we’d say in German.
January 16th, 2026 at 21:58I liked Don Martin best.
January 16th, 2026 at 22:51I liked Dave Berg & Don Martin a lot but my all -time favorite was Antonio Prohías, I loved Spy vs. Spy.
January 17th, 2026 at 08:47Didnt know where to drop his.

CALIFORNIA JAM 1974
Not much Purple but thats ok, we already have our DVDS etc
A lot of BLACK OAK ARKANSAS
Must admit always liking the name but never listened/watched them.
At first I though….huh David Lee Roth in 74, how?
January 27th, 2026 at 21:25DLR heard the Jim Dandy (frontman of BOA) comparison all the time when VH started out: the look, the moves, even the vocal tone. So you’re not alone, RV, Gene Simmons thought the same thing when he first took VH under his wings. And I had the Jim Dandy association immediately too when I first saw DLR.
