Armin's announcement that he's cancelling his set



Hope everything is OK with PvD. Anyone has more info?

Bad news indeed! Hope he get's well soon!

Yes, very sad news. Hope he gets well soon. Good call from Armin to cancel the rest on mainstage, which was only his own vinyl set. Apparently some people were bashing Armin for this decision, but I'm glad he got applause from the people there.

Paul van Dyk ' s facebook:

We'd like to express our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for everyone's overwhelming support for PvD this past week. We have very good news to report as Paul is fully conscious and now under normal care. Paul did sustain a concussion and cracked vertebrae. Though he must remain under hospital care while his condition improves, we expect Paul to recover fully from his injuries. PvD deeply appreciates your support and looks forward to touring again as soon as possible.

So glad to read that!

Happy news!

Glad to see that he is on the mend

Hello, Paul here.

It's been 3 months since my life changed in a way I never thought possible; it's been the most difficult challenge I have ever been through. Although there is a long way ahead for me to completely recover, I am positive, optimistic and doing absolutely everything I can to get back to my passion and share with you my love for music, to share more unforgettable moments and to live this second chance to the maximum -- to live it grateful and happier than ever.

It's very hard to write down everything I would like to say but I know a lot of you are worried, so I'll try my best…

To the dedicated team of doctors, trainers, nurses and hospital staff in Utrecht & Berlin who have helped -- and who continue to help with my medical rehabilitation and care, thank you so very much. Really, I will never be able to express the depth of my appreciation for your expertise and therapy. It feels like a miracle that I’m alive and an even bigger one that I’ll soon be able to follow my passion again, thanks to your help.

To my family, friends and team for being by my side every step of the way, I’ll be forever grateful for your love, support, encouragement and positivity over these tough months.

To the promoters, business partners and colleagues who covered for me, believed in me, allowed me the time to get better and who are welcoming me back with open arms, from the bottom of my heart…thank you. In this day and age, it’s not the norm and I’m very touched by it.

To all of you all over the world who sent love, good wishes and prayers, I want to thank each one of you who took the time for me. There are no words to express what I have felt, but I can tell you that many tears filled my eyes seeing them, so thank you. I needed that positive energy more than you imagine.

Most of all, I would like to extend my endless gratitude to my wonderful, loving, caring Margarita. You’re the love of my life and there is simply no way I would have been able to get through this hell without you.

In mid-June, I’m returning to do what I love doing the most and am looking forward to seeing you all again!

Paul van Dyk goes into further details about his fall recovery. The injuries he sustained were FAR worse that what was previously unveiled but I have high hopes that he will be back to a manageable, if not 100%, condition.:
