(Classic Rock) Saxon drummer Nigel Glockler underwent a second operation Thursday to repair a brain aneurysm. He was rushed to hospital in Newcastle on Monday, with the band having to postpone the remaining four dates on their UK tour.

It was discovered he was suffering from bleeding on the brain. His wife Gina gave an update on his condition via the band's official Facebook page Wednesday, saying the first operation was unsuccessful.

She says: "Nigel had surgery today for the brain aneurysm, but unfortunately it was not successful with the first option, so he will be undergoing another operation tomorrow." Read more here.
