Cancelled Shows *Official Statement*

[CC]

"Jim James of My Morning Jacket will be sidelined for a while due to health complications related to pneumonia.  My Morning Jacket will unfortunately have to cancel an upcoming show on New Years Eve as well as their European tour that was to begin on January 18th, 2006.

The band would like to extend their sincerest apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.  My Morning Jacket hopes to reschedule the European dates as soon as Jim is fully recovered and able to perform.  We thank you for your understanding."

Get well soon Jim & all the best!

Bad news..Get Well JJ....

[cmccubbin25]

We wish you all the best Jim!  Get well soon!

[Dee.]

Eep, I'm sorry to hear that.  Get well soon!

[cmccubbin25]

is there someway we could circulate a massive card or send something to Jim that could be from the fans on the forum?

i'm sure he would appreciate it!

[riceisnice]

Get well asap and whilst obviously health takes priority, we look forward (patiently) to the wonderful day sometime in the distant future, when MY MORNING JACKET PLAY EUROPE!!!

Can't wait.

 Meanwhile i'm just gonna sit here listening to I Will Be There When You Die on repeat whilst hoping that i'll get to see Jim James before that is actually the case.......!

Hear ya go Jim, hope ya feel better!

[primushead]

Lol, that's not a bad get-well montage. :)  It's got Vitamin C, boobies, a great movie, and a muppet.  I couldn't ask for more.

That's a good idea. Any ideas how it could be done?

Man, what a bummer.  They were the only reason my wife and I bought tix for this show.  I have little interest in the Crowes.  

Anyone want to buy a pair in section 311 from me?

Jim James, get better, so we can see you on the road again next year.

get well soon Jim

and sorry Europe people, missing MMJ sucks. Be patient though,  they are well worth the wait.

[riceisnice]

hmmmmm. Not the most sympathetic message Flying Scotsman but i see your point nonetheless. Still - it's worse for the band (and Jim obviously) than it is for you. So quit moaning and get a life. Although i see your point...

[ben grimm]

This sucks but I'm even boring myself by being pissed off, I'll say no more about it. Get well soon Jim but if you tour the U.S again before coming back to Europe I'm selling or burning all my MMJ stuff.  ;D

Wow, I can see why that masterpiece of statement took 24 hours to release, musta have been working on that for days.
Such a personal, well thought out, genuine, heartwarming message.

I wonder what you'd like...  Would you like Jim to write you a private note from his bed?  Maybe make a handmade card just for you?  Perhaps he could be flown from England to give you a hug and say  "I'm sorry, man.  I'm really sick."

Actually, perhaps to make up for it, he could fly out and do a private, solo show, even though he's still sick and probably shouldn't.  Oh wait, he did that already, and look, he got really sick again.

There is not enough understanding going on on this board.

[snort]

I'll cry if you shout at me again, please don't be nasty to me. Away te fuck ya soapdodging wee twat ye.

What an excellent response.  

[sweetdream]

Oh no :'( I was really lookning forward to see them. But well, hope he gets better soon and come touring in Europe.
Must say I like the idea of sending him some kind of card or something from all fans here  :D

[Easy Morning Rebel]

I'm into that Get well soon-card idea too! :)

[ycartrob]

Away te fuck ya soapdodging wee twat ye.

If I were in a band, I'd cancel the shows if my fans talked like this.

What is this?

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

It's Patrick's giraffe tail talking.... ;)
