Saxon's drummer Nigel Glockler has had a rough time. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent an operation to address a brain aneurysm. A second procedure took place after the first was unsuccessful. The good news is that he will be released from the hospital tomorrow and is much better. Also, the heavy metallers hired Sven Dirkschneider, who is the son of Udo Dirkschneider (Accept, U.D.O.), as their new live drummer until Nigel Glockler recovers fully.

The band explained: "It's 2015!! The next shows are in The UK. Just to let you all know, for all these shows Nigel Glockler will be at the shows to meet and great the VIP ticket holders! Sven Dirkschneider will be drumming all these shows as Nigel will not be 100% fit by then but he will be at the shows! Sven is Udo Dirkschneider's son of Accept and U.D.O. fame! There are still some tickets left for shows and VIP tickets! See you on Tour! Happy new year!"
