All in all ... this not knowing sucks...!!!
Guess we have all become so used to instant info... which I think is what is worrying me the most..... the silence .......!!!

Because this is happening during a short break, the travelers will be able to change their plans, although I realize they will still be out lots of money.

I was just sitting here going through the photos. This is John in Berlin. There have been plenty of photos like that. I tear up not because I fear bad things, but just because we all love him so much. I mean, no one is torn about him because he hasn't done anything controversial in decades, so there's this groundswell of unmitigated affection, world over.

I'm freaking out over here, If this is true about John i'm more devastated about that, but the thought about the tour being cancelled left me with a sinking feeling, i was going to 5 shows!

I would like to hear more of his sailing stories, seemed he loved when I asked him about that several years ago in a Q&A.

This is terrible news. I just hope it turns out to be a hoax, which seems pretty unlikely.

Twitter says John is undergoing cancer treament. Really sad.

Jeff Griffith ‏@km16 1m
Also, Fleetwood Mac cancelled the remainder of the world tour from finding out the bassist, John McVie, has cancer and will be in treatment.

I noticed that too, but I figured I was clutching at straws thinking it meant something

Really sad news for John. I hope he makes a speedy recovery and maybe the tour can be postponed for 2014. Health comes first though.

Since this is the same post that caused all the trouble in the first place I don't know what to believe. I'll wait to hear from the promoter.

This whole thing has been SHOCKINGLY handled.

Yeah, that was sitting in the back of my mind too. How Live Nation haven't come out and addressed this one way or the other by now is beyond me. Their handling of this tour has been absolutely diabolical from beginning to end.

. I was just recently thinking how happy I am, that after all this time they all are still going strong. And now this. I'm happy that I got to see them twice on this tour but it can never be enough. I want more. Also: I'm wondering how long they've known. The post going live yesterday during the last show of the european leg is such a mess. Add that to the thing with the sound problems, song dropping due to time and Christine showing up at the hotel.

John will be in my thoughts for sure. I read the Q/A just recently... I love his humour!
