Whitesnake Scrap Chile Show....

Rockers Whitesnake were forced to scrap a show in Chile on Friday (16May08) after frontman David Coverdale fell ill.The rocker reportedly developed respiratory problems and was unable to perform.In a video message on Blabbermouth.net, the band's guitarist, Doug Aldrich, says, "I am really sorry that we didn't get to play the gig Santiago. It sucks big time.

"We ran into a bit of rough luck. The airline that we used to fly from Argentina to Chile changed to a different plane and our equipment got bumped to a flight that was very very late."We had no gear... no guitars no nothing, so that night (Friday) the show needed to be moved to Saturday."Then... (David) got a really bad cough and had a hard time to breathe, so he didn't get to sleep all night. He saw a doctor, and the doc said he was ordered to rest."It's really, really a big disappointment for us as we were so up for playing... I know we will get back (to Chile) as soon as it's possible."
