In 2009, shortly before Depeche Mode was due on stage in Athens, Greece, Gahan fell ill in his dressing room. Subsequent tests revealed a malignant tumor in his bladder. Gahan later suffered a torn calf muscle and strained his vocal cords, resulting in further cancelations. Gahan has continued to perform with Depeche Mode and others, despite setbacks with his health.
