London show cancelled?

[SMc55]

Well if that's the case a simple 'So and so's ill so we're really sorry we won't be playing these gigs'  announcement to their devoted fans would have prevented a lot of this.

We know it's been a great tour. We've heard all about it and shared the joy of those attending. Just like we did the last time. And the time before that.

Don't want to speak for Riny here, but maybe he's at work and can't take the time to post this at this instant.
Maybe that's the case.

I don't think he's intentionally holding info.

Just my thoughts on this.

[CC]

that's not it.

like I said, there will be a statement and if it were up to me i'd post it right away but there are some things to be taken care of before it can be posted.

it's really beyond their control so please don't think they don't care about the european fans or anything like that.

I don't think he's intentionally holding info.

You're right 'wiggum, I don't think he does intentionally withold info. It would mean a lot to us if we got the correct information from the band and their team before we start getting emailed by ticket sellers though.

Any idea when?

Shit...real sorry to hear about the European dates.
I hope the band are all OK & that it's nothing too serious but I guess it must be?

Any idea when?

don't know for sure.
seems to take longer than expected but as everyone, I really hope it's gonna be today.

I heard they have been invited by NASA  to be the first rock band to play in outer space. Their shuttle launch is January 23rd, but they have some training to do.

They will play 2 sets a day, for 1 week, broadcast on Sirius.

After all that, I am sure someone will bitch about the redundancy of the set list or why they didn't play Butch Cassidy...

LOL!!!  ;D

I feel bad for laughing.
I can't help but think something really serious has happened.
What other reason would there be for the band to cancel again & so far in advance?
I can't help but feel really worried...

[ycartrob]

I feel the band has to do what the band has to do.

They give me the music, so, I trust they will do what they need to do to keep giving me the music.

If it ain't in their plans, I have nothing to do other than appreciate what they have given me.

Holy.

Just saw the dates page.

Very very sad to hear that.  Get well soon, Jim.  

Poor dude.  We'll be sending you healthy lung vibez from all over the world.

If you have nothing real to contribute to this thread then shut the fuck up, your inane wittering is nothing but irritating, go clip your toenails or something.
The people here are genuinely upset, making fun or posting hippie drivel a la 'they give me the music' etc, is just annoying, and I'm pretty sure they don't give you anything, $$$$$$$ is what counts.

Who the fuck are you?!!
Do you have something worthwhile to contribute to this thread? (it wouldn't seem so from your post!)
If you do then join the forum & like everyone else here, show some respect when you talk to other people.

chill out people - people are a bit angsty at the moment i know, just don't hang shit on others ok? this forum has such a cool friendly vibe, don't get shitty about what other people feel they get from the music. that is the best thing about music - it means and gives something different to everyone, don't abuse someone for saying what they feel, deadbeat. you're definitely living up to your name posting stuff like that  :(

look at the fact they offered to refund money to anyone and everyone for the show that TOMMY had to miss because of illness.  this band is not fucking the fans over, im so fucking sick of hearing that.  sure ive had the opportunity to see them quite a lot the past 2 years, and theyve had bad things happen when it comes to europe.  it says a lot about people whose first instinct is to think the band is sticking it to them by doing this.  you do realise they make 80% or more of their money by live shows?  do you think they want this opportunity to lose revenue?  theyre not like that, and theyre probably fucking upset at the chance to rock off your fucking faces.  if you think of them as bad people or doing evil things or what the fuck ever, how are you a fan, and why should you be?  someone's fucking health is more important than anything else, including your money.  get the fuck over it.

I don't think of them as bad. I don't think many people do. What I do think is that the people who get paid to sort out their PR suck. Whoever announced to the venues and ticket sellers that the tour was cancelled could have let Riny make an annoucement at the same time. Nobody's saying Jim should have got out of his sick bed to let us know individually. They're with a record company. They have people to do that.

I wish Jim all the very best. I think everybody who's posted does too. People are disappointed. This is the fourth time in four consecutive years European gigs have been cancelled. This is the first time we've had a fast, clear explanation so well done whoever. We are getting over it, but honestly one thing that doesn't help is being preached at.

Couldn't have put it (much) better myself Doctorinthehouse.

It's sooooo anoooyiiingg though!! I wanna see them sooooooooooooooooooooo much. But obviously everything you said is true and that's just life.
