The schedule would suggest they actually agreed to let LB tour in the summer, then start up the FM tour, then have LB to another short leg around Christmas, then finish up the tour.
I get the sense this was more over LB wanting to play new music on the tour, either 1) actual new music or 2) a major change to the golden oldies set list.
I think this is totally over a creative force v. a tried and true method. LB lost this round.
My concern is that a LB tour was predicated on the FM tour earnings bank rolling it. So LB is scrambling to fund what could very well be another 1 man show, or very minimal band tour.
