Why can Ritchie Blackmore perform live again?
Ritchie Blackmore has announced a limited run of concerts after planning to keep performances close to home. The tour’s nearby venues follow the approach he described after health issues forced him to cancel dates.
Blackmore’s live return is based on limiting travel distance, which he said could affect his equilibrium.
The guitarist canceled fall tour dates in November 2025 because of medical issues that he later described as “severe vertigo for days.”
In an interview with UCR earlier this year, Blackmore said vertigo was unlike anything he had experienced before. He described severe dizziness that affected his control and ability to think clearly.
In May, Blackmore said his plan for returning to the concert stage involved keeping shows near his home on Long Island. The newly announced dates are consistent with that plan.
“We live on Long Island and I don’t want to go hundreds of miles. Because that seems to upset my equilibrium,” he explained. “It’s funny, I had forgotten how I reacted when I was a child, when I was nine and 10, how I would always throw up when I was traveling. So therein lies a mystery, [But I know] that I do like to be at home. So what I’m trying to do now is do dates that are closer to home.”
What happened when Blackmore reunited with Deep Purple?
Ritchie Blackmore reunited with Deep Purple onstage in 2026 to perform “Smoke on the Water” in Wantagh, New York. The appearance was his first performance with his former bandmates in 33 years.
Blackmore’s 2026 Deep Purple reunion brought him onstage with former bandmates for the first time in 33 years.
“It was very moving because I went on very quickly and had to play immediately,” Blackmore told Guitar Player a few days after the reunion. “I couldn’t warm up, but I wasn’t there to be playing correct notes. I was there to see old friends I hadn’t seen in 40 years, and we’re all getting older. I think we realized it could be the last time we see each other, maybe.”
