Biff Byford said the following about Glockler’s condition:

“Nigel our friend and brother is in the hospital in the UK having tests to find a bleed on his brain. He is up and talking but he says he has a ball crushing headache. I will pass all your messages on to Gina, Nigel’s wife and we all pray that Nige can pull through this! At the moment all shows have been re scheduled to 3/4/5/6/7 of February 2015”

UPDATE: Glockler has since gone through surgery for a brain aneurysm. According to Facebook posts from his wife Gina, the first operation was “not successful,” but a second one seemed to have gone “according to plan.”
