The whole thing is really unfortunate, but it sounds like they were waiting to see if Neale would heal, be able to make it later. I understand not rescheduling for next year is disappointing, but we don't know all the ends and outs, schedules, and other business that goes on behind the scenes, like Miranda mentioned. I think in this situation, miscommunication was inevitable. Really sorry for the fans. Maybe things will work out next year anyway.

I didn't realize how close it was to the actual show dates. No way he could have replaced Neale with that short of notice. But he could have rescheduled the dates and added another guitar player unless ticket sales were so poor they were just trying to cut their losses. I don't know if her schedule would have allowed it or not, but Janet Robin would have been a great choice to replace Neale. I doubt it would have taken her very long to fit in considering she's already toured with Lindsey once. I'm sure the U.K. Ledgies would have appreciated that consideration. And in this modern era, how hard would it be for Lindsey to make a short YouTube video comment about the tour cancellation? A little goodwill goes a long way. |

It would be nice if LB would make a comment, release a statement or even hand write a person note on his stationery to post on his website...

hand write? that sounds so 20th century... i think people would generally put some update/statement on their website. if an artist/management uses twitter to let people know what's going on they may do that, but LB doesn't.

As I mentioned before, it was too short of notice for a replacement. I don't know if you follow Janet or her schedule, but she is constantly touring the country for her solo work (& super talented. Check out her stuff!). She hasn't toured with Lindsey in quite a long time and would have to learn new material and sacrifice her own solo engagements. It's hard to find someone with an open schedule on short notice, get them to learn the material AND have LB feel comfortable with the dynamics. If you have seen any of the US shows(or YouTube videos), you would see that when Lindsey introduces the guys, he introduces them as his Brothers. Until 4 days before, Neale was trying to go. He wanted to go and he feels bad for everything that happened. He's having a pretty back surgery in about a week, so that goes to show how intense his pain and medical situation must have been for them to schedule him with something like three weeks notice. It's not that I'm defending anyone, but I know that they really tried to work in new dates and that management has control over it and not LB personally.

I agree it would be very classy of LB to post a message from him on his site. I know if I was affected by this it would mean the world to me. And he is a classy guy.
I hope the best for Neale and that he's back in action asap! I'll always have a soft spot for Neale as the pick I retrieved from the stage in Vancouver (that LB was using) has Neale Heywood on the back

Thank you to Miranda for taking the time to share all the info.
It's a sad state of affairs, but I personally know it isn't LB's fault as it was pretty much beyond his control. I am so sorry for all the fans, but hopefully things will work out for you all in the very near future. I'm hoping.

What is done is done and what is lost is lost and gone forever.
There is no point in complaining about dates, schedules, band members anything anymore. Miranda has taken the time and explained it in pretty much black and white. Thanks Miranda. I'm sorry for Lindsey and Co too i am sure he lost a small fortune due to this. Ticketbastard refunded me Ł590 in tickets today, and two weeks before christmas so im happy about that.

so, in order to please, lindsey should provide the following information via a hand-written note, a tweet, a website announcement, and/or a youtube video?
"The tour has been cancelled due to injury. We are unable to re-schedule at this time." I find that ridiculous. Neale is obviously undergoing a serious operation for a serious injury of which no one knows the outcome. I am proud Lindsey has not re-scheduled the tour at this time -- that would put a lot of pressure on Neale for the healtime as well certainly the fans would be disappaointed again should the tour have to be postponed or cancelled again. IMO how Lindsey et al have handled this situation is to be commendable. If I was as laid out at Neale is, having put everything I had into the tour thus far, I would want, pray for, my bossy to have that kind of consideration for me. GO TEAM BUCKINGHAM! |

That's pretty easy for you to say when you haven't been messed around with the lack of information and communication between all involved parties. I do feel sorry for Neale. I really do. But we deserve a little respect too. Not whatever is tossed to us in terms of rumours and half truths. It should have been made plain ASAP when they knew the dates couldn't be met that they were cancelled. Not treated as chinese whispers between Lidnsey's team, Ticket Master, Live Nation, whoever else is involved. His site STILL says postponed. Somebody's dropping the ball there.
