Health Comes First for Hard-Rock VeteranHard rock guitar virtuoso Adrian Vandenberg—best known for his 12-year tenure with Whitesnake during their multi-platinum peak—has officially postponed his upcoming 2026 U.S. tour. The Dutch guitarist announced from a hospital bed that he is receiving treatment for a sudden, severe bacterial infection. Medical specialists strongly advised Vandenberg against taking to the road for the 18-date “My Whitesnake Years Tour,” which was scheduled to kick off this week. He famously recalled playing a sold-out Madison Square Garden show in 1987 just hours after suffering severe facial injuries in a NYC car accident. Classic rock fans across the country are rallying behind the guitar legend for a speedy recovery.
