It was successful
An update from Ian Gillan was posted today, November 7, 2026:
Dear friends, I had a procedure yesterday which was successful. I now have to rest, in order to make a complete recovery and ensure that I’m as fit as can be before getting back to work.
Thanks everybody for your patience and understanding. I really do appreciate it and apologise for all the inconvenience.
Cheers, IG
Thanks to Simon, along with several other sources, for the heads-up.
