Packersfan#4#12 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Well the tour wraps up October 16th so there's still time to reschedule I'd say by the end of October. Might be a bit chilly out but it can be done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a bit chilly out but it can be done That's about the only time they can do it. I remember seeing Pearl Jam at Alpine Valley in October of 2000 and it was about 20 degrees out. It was miserable, but a very memorable show. I just hope the rescheduled date is on a weekend. Either way, come Sunday...Go Bears!

Popular Post k12 Posted September 9, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2023 they really should have waited until around 9PM tomorrow when everyone was in their seats to make this announcement, and also said "there will be no refunds since you already saw the Pretenders and there is a clause in the tickets that allows this, thank you" 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k12 Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 is there a chance they could play back to back days? I can't imagine them playing a show in Vancouver and than loading up all the trucks and everything and drive 2,300 Miles to play a 1 off in St. Louis, they haven't played any back to backs on this tour but last year they played several back to backs, them playing before or after the Kansas City date is my guess if they are going to play the show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like we give a lot of things a pass on this fan board, but please let’s not start giving a pass to incompetent management. Venue employees who were watching the stage get taken down are the real heroes here. if it isn’t Axl that’s sick, it’ll be Slash and/or maaaaaaybeeeeee Duff. No other reason other than a steel (the stage build itself) issue would shut this moneytrain down. Franks job is the 2nd most physical. I’d throw him in there get well whoever it is! Getting a flight plus hotel for a show to be cancelled sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while one stage is being trucked to Vancouver, another could go to St Louis, and they play the make up show a few days after Vancouver... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are humans like you and I and clearly they wouldn't cancel unless someone was seriously ill. Everyone in the band outside of Melissa is at an older age and it could be something serious. Have a heart and fuck off It has to be something where the ill band member is too sick to perform but it doesn't have to be (and hopefully isn't) an actual serious illness. If Axl has a really bad sore throat he can't sing if it's something that hurts to talk. I've had really bad colds or the flu that have sapped all of my energy and I couldn't do much more than sleep for 2 or 3 days straight. If I was a performer, I can't imagine getting myself into a state where I could put on a show. It could even be a bad ear infection that prevents a band member from being able to fly. Who knows but we don't need to jump to conclusions that it is something potentially life threatening because the they are in their late 50s to early 60s and have to cancel a show. It's possible that they still use pointless COVID protocols and somebody wasn't that ill but tested positive and now has to test negative before they can resume being around the rest of the band.

I think if Frank, Richard, Dizzy or Melissa were sick and couldn't perform they'd have somebody fill in and just not play songs that the fill in was not capable of doing. A couple of years ago Aerosmith had Joey Kramer's drum tech fill in after his car accident (or whatever kind of accident it was). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComaSTL Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I was told b a high up Busch Stadium employee that they delivered 30k tickets and would likely achieve low to mid 30's judging by St Louis' past of late tickets sales. That puts the it at 85% sold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when Steven had broke his hand and the drummer from Cinderella stepped in. Or with Metallica lars was sick so they had Dave Lombardo play for a show. The only two that arent replacable are Axl and Slash. Anyone else they could use a fill in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaoloLA Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Postponed isn’t cancelled or wiped out. Chill!! that being said, Axl being “horsed” in one show, then playing 2 nights later, isn’t good at all!!. Whoever is sick/ill ….

If it is Axl that is sick and problems with his throat he will need to take the rest of the tour a bit easier. I was at the Tottenham show last year and how that went down. I don't think they would risk having to potentially go through that situation again. Just hope it's nothing too serious and that all will be good.

People should know that there is a risk of cancellation. Of course, everyone hopes that everything is going to be ok, but sometimes it happens. Last year after Glasgow cancellation I had tickets for Munich and Milan shows, I remember that nobody was sure about the following Munich show. I decided just to go - if they cancel the gig I can just enjoy the city and have a good time for sightseeing. On the other hand I can understand people if they travel just for the show and don't like sightseeing, but they, for sure, should be aware that there is always possibility that show can be cancelled or postponed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was very sad, but it's not comparable and that's just not because of who was ill (btw, although now it's most likely Axl, we don't have 100% confirmation). That was a long-term situation concerning a whole tour, not just one or a couple of shows. And as harsh as it may seem, it was probably like, "We have to do the tour. If you can't do it, we'll have to find someone else" and Bumblefoot chose to do it. There was a show that was cancelled on that tour, though. The official reason was issues with the venue, but it was the next show after Bumblefoot complained on twitter going on about wanting to quit and kill himself. Axl has performed while being ill or with a broken foot. Edited September 9, 2023 by Blackstar 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
