Ok... Just a little 50 cents to all that...
- It all started about 2-3 weeks ago when he was having a "chest infection" during the gigs for the US tour, we never heard of after that... US Tour finished on June 17th
- Then he came back, and went to La Fête de la Musique in Paris and did quite a good performance, although it was just 2 songs on June 21st
- Then Glastonbury where he was great, playing in the mud and kissing Big Girls all around Jun 22nd and 23rd
- Then the TBA Gig in Manchester, where some of us had the luck to go, June 27th
- Then he cancelled Switzerland, June 28th... Because of an "ear infection"... Then we learned after that that he had cancelled to preserve his voice for The Olympia
- Then he made his best gig ever at The Olympia, June 30th (recorded for DVD)
- Then iTunes festival July 1st, wasn't he quite good there ? I'm sorry, i didn't read the reports... Was on could 9
- Then on July 3rd, he cancels Nibe that is supposed to happen on July 4th, because he "lost his voice" and "has to keep it for Roskilde", already after a medical prescription...
- BUT performs for a secret gig in the same evening... None of us went to, but the reports from the press are as usual, fantastic
- Today, we learn that he cancels Roskilde July 6th, because "doctor said he had to keep his voice" and because now he's got pneumonia...
- BUT Oxegen and T in the Park are still ok for now, and they are on July 7th and 8th
- Then 3 "cool days" before hes supposed to go to Lyon (France) then Spain, etc.
ALL THAT TO SAY : don't you see something is going wrong ????? Not with his health, but with the oragnisation and the "suddent" decisions that have been made recently ? Could you please all open your eyes and realize that they're taking the piss ??? Well, at least, i don't know who, but SOMEONE is...
PNEUMONIA : he will not die, unless he turned 70 recently and got a lot of associate diseases, or live in far far country without any doctor or hospital around...
TRAVELLING doesn't weak your immune system at all, it's a legend. You're just tired. Unless you have something else that weakens your immune system.
So why not just wait until he cancels Oxegen and T in The Park, and maybe even Lyon and Spain to start being worried about his health THAT much ?
We all noticed the planning is crazy. But don't look for a reason when there is no other reason than a bad bad bad organization of things, that lead to exhaustion (which is human) that leads to cancelling "less important" gigs such as festivals where he still can be replaced... I mean, foreign festivals.
I hope he gets well soon .
