Hey, sorry I missed this post, this could’ve been fun.

Bottom pages this gem:

Worried that Berlin will also be cancelled or I will get a concert with a half recovered Ed with a bad voice. Not interested in the jamily singing half the songs, I'd rather have my money back.

After being at the Manchester show, I’m not surprised. Whilst it’s a shame it is cancelled due to illness, this show has been a bit of a shambles for the band.

Hopefully it doesn’t impact the rest of the tour for those with tickets.

Hope he's ok and sucks for everyone who travelled.

Completely selfishly - I'm a bit glad. This was an impulse buy but I soon regretted paying £160 for this, and felt even worse seeing how much the ticket prices were slashed. God knows why they decided to play a stadium - they are nowhere near big enough in the UK to warrant it.

Yeah, but at least it's a huge global city with lots to do. Unlike... Baltimore.

This is exactly how I felt, and I never thought I would get buyer’s remorse for a PJ show! I’ll definitely keep an eye on ticket prices rather than rushing to get tickets on the release date if prices are astronomical. If the prices remain where they are, I’m content with stopping on 23 shows.

Berlin is back to back shows so my guess is that either night 1 is cancelled... or both.

Throw in the ticketing fuck up where I paid £160 for gig tickets that were then sold at less than half price, they need to change their name to Pearl Scam. This is the second time they've cancelled a London show now.

On behalf of all Londoners, I say...

Go fuck yourselves, I'm done.

I blame Dime for all of this

What about a big open field somewhere

I’ve already made my peace that this will probably be my last year for PJ shows. Assuming it’s not the band’s last year for PJ shows.

I was about to go, we even exchanged messages with good old RMer Joost, but In glad I didn’t ; it was very expensive to go to London from Paris and I kinda figured they would cancel after all the reports coming from Manchester.

What a bummer. I’ve traveled for most of the shows I’ve been to. Went to Barcelona in 2018, but the thing was, it was just part of our itinerary. Had it been canceled, I would have been annoyed, but it was by no means the highlight of the trip. I can’t imagine an international trip where a concert is the main event. Now if I were traveling to Baltimore or Philly or some other domestic city I’ve already visited (from MN), I’d be pretty upset.

Yeah..landed in London rhis morning. Two hours later it for cancelled. Third EU tour in a row now...

London has plenty to offer. But still bummed, was my only show this tour.

How are things going at the Pit, you ask?

Shot:

When my wife asked my five year old daughter if she was sad for Daddy having to miss his concert, she said “No… I feel sorry for the poorly singer. Can I make him a get well soon card?” Proud moment.

Chaser:

Was diagnosed with cancer in November 2023. Had surgery in Feb 2024, but it's inoperable. Probably got 2-3 years at best so started my bucket list and seeing my favourite band was the first thing I wanted to do, so really gutted.

His/her “favorite band” has been playing live for over 30 years

Which one of the mods is being an asshole on twitter?

bummer

but these guys are like 60 years old+ now I don't see how it's possible to travel around this much staying up late singing etc and not get sick
