UK/Ireland tour - cancelled or postponed?
will the UK/Ireland tour be rescheduled? if so, would it be in 2012 or there's no chance of it in 2012 as Live Nation UK announced?
the news seem to be pointing out to the tour being outright cancelled and not just postponed. that is if you believe Live Nation and Ticketmaster. some venues seem to be saying tour may be just postponed. NME has out the confusing article that everybody seems to be quoting, calling the tour canceled but then referring to LB's website that still has last week's announcement that tour will be rescheduled... my hope is that once when Neale's surgery is over (and highly successful!!), lindsey's team will look into venues and when / which venues they can reschedule. i'm assuming their equipment must have been in the UK already by the time they had to reschedule and that it's probably on the way back now... here is one of the articles out today: http://trueoldiesabilene.com/fleetwo...ce=twitterfeed Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham Postpones U.K. Tour Due To Bandmate’s Injury Lindsey Buckingham has been forced to postpone a U.K. tour that was scheduled to kick off this week due to an injury sustained by an unidentified member of his backing band. The Fleetwood Mac star was due to kick off the nine-date U.K. trek at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham, England, on Thursday (Dec. 8), but he’s pulled all his gigs so his bandmate can recover. The tour was scheduled through a Dec. 19 gig in London. “Lindsey Buckingham unfortunately needs to postpone his upcoming U.K. shows as his guitarist has severely injured his back and is not able to presently perform,” reads a post on his official website. “All tickets will be honored at the soon to be announced rescheduled dates.” Buckingham recently sat down with Ultimate Classic Rock to discuss his solo career, calling it “modest by comparison” when sized up next to Fleetwood Mac, but emphasizing he’s used to it like that and wouldn’t expect things to be any other way. “That is how it is and that’s how it has been for my entire solo career,” he said. “I do this for the love of doing it. I don’t make any money doing these [solo] tours. But as an artist I want to hold onto the ideal and [make music that has] a transcendent, religious quality.” |

I really wish these people would talk to each other so we'd know one way or another what was happening.

Me too. I've decided to be positive or live in the land of denial (not sure which) and believe that the tour will reach the UK at some point. I refuse to believe that it is not possible to reschedule at all during 2012. Am hoping that it's a case of seeing how Neale's recovery goes and then sorting out a reschedule. Maybe they decided to give refunds, because at this point in time they really have no idea at what point during the year they'll be able to get back on the road.

I really hope for all the peeps that it isn't cancelled. But I don't know the severity of Neale's injury and I'm feeling so bad for him as well. This is just one of those unpredictable things that happen where you hope it will all pan through.

Have you been contacted by Ticketmaster about the cancellation? I haven't heard anything from them yet. I guess it'll be quicker for me to contact them, to get the ball rolling for a refund.

I really feel bad for all of you that had tickets.
With low ticket sales I was worried that the same thing would happen at the venue I saw him at years ago. I even called the place just an hour or so before the show to make sure it was still on. But Stevie on the other hand cancelled a show that I had tickets for back in the 80's. Matter of fact it was cancelled, then back on and then cancelled again. That one hurt. |
