I just spoke with Fanfire - Hershey is not cancelled. I then called the box office at Hershey and they said it was not cancelled. So, maybe they are going ahead with Hershey on Sat. and Jones Beach on Sun.

I think the words cancelled and post-poned are being used interchangeably until more info. is known. So, I am holding tight until more info. is released and and hoping they reschedule, etc.

This is getting too close for comfort to my damn show. And I haven't even seen them at all on this tour yet.

If this keeps up, the rest of the tour could be cancelled.... Yeah, yeah. Everybody else is thinking it, but I'm the only one who's saying it.

Stevie should rest up. Get those vocal chords back in shape.

Even though I have tickets for Hershey, I agree with you. It's obvious this additional leg is becoming too much.....they should have just taken some time off and then gone back in the studio! :thumbsup:

I totally agree. Anyone still think that they'll continue after Iowa? I beg to diffah.

And, to be honest, it's good that they're cancelling these. Would you want to go to a ****ty show? I did on Friday and I didn't have a good time.

No offense, diss, but your hearing seems to be off most of the time anyway. ;) :xoxo:

Seriously though, I'm wondering if on future tours, Stevie will avoid outdoor shows altogether... it seems to wreak havoc on her respiratory system.
And in addition to it being uncomfortable for her to sing, I'm sure she's probably also insecure about how she might be sounding.

We can officially confirm that tonight's show at the Ford Pavilion in Scranton, PA is postponed. Management has also informed us that a reschedule date has not been confirmed. Hopefully we will have more information on Wednesday morning about this show and we will post it here as soon as we get the word from management.

I'm glad to hear that there's still hope that the Pittsburgh show hasn't been dropped.
I have several friends attending that show, and I'd hate to see their show cancelled.

Hopefully any dates that are missed, will be made up later. :)

hmmm...wonder where they'll be spending the next few days? Could it possibly be in Philly???? That would be nice. I think I read last year they stayed at the Ritz Carlton, which is across the street from my office! Thoughts, anyone?

OK unStevie is SERIOUSLY sick she should be all better by Satyraday I mean she has off completely from Sunday-Friday. So that's 6 days. Now I'm just being optimistic and I'm no doctor but if anyone here is don't you agree SIX days should be enough to recover from an illness. At least I hope so. I agree that doing amphitheatres was a BAD idea, they should've stuck with Arenas. Stevie went 100 straight plus dates without getting sick, and now boom. well when you think about who hear can say they can go a year straight without being sick. You CAN'T eventually you do. And from the reviews the first 5 shows of this leg were some of the best this tour so far.

Outdoor venues SUCK. I prefer to be inside where it's air conditioned with no bugs. LOL

I really wish they hadn't done another leg, even tho I'm happy about front row in Houston and seeing them in Dallas again, but they should have gone home to rest and work on their solos and next FM album. :)

I whole-heartedly agree, Christy.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if they stuck to recording albums, and no longer bothered with touring at all (or only did very brief tours)... but that's an opinion I don't often express, because I realize a good many people enjoy the live experience, and would be greatly disappointed if they retired from the road altogether.

If it's a combination of the asthma and Epstein Barr then who knows how long it could take. :sorry:

Well, if I did, the checks ain't come yet. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Seriously though, I think we have to ask ourselves if we want this tour to continue past Iowa. I know we all want to see them but I don't want to see them at the expense of Stevie's health and Lindsey not spending any time with his newborn baby. I think Mick and John on the other hand, would stay on the road in perpetuity, God bless them.

You're right baout the touring, though. She isn't in her twenties or thirties anymore, she has to cool her jets for her health. And get back into the studio already!

Very good points...to be touring BASICALLY nonstop (with a few breaks) like that is risky, considering their age...I mean I know if I were to go on the road for a year, somewhere within my trip I would get sick, minor most likely, but still..
And yes the first few shows of this leg were some of the best IMO as well...I cant see them cancelling the whole leg, too much money invested

Oh Man, I am so sorry to hear about this. It seems to me that she hasn't been feeling well since heading north, am I right? To tell you the truth, the weather here in the Northeast has been a little colder than normal and it seems to be very windy lately. Does Stevie have allergies too? I know I have allergies and I haven't had the best time with my throat either. Poor Stevie!! I hope somebody is taking extra special care of her. :distress:

Six days isn't a long time to be sick, especially if you aren't taking care of yourself properly and getting enough rest. I had a sinus infection this past April and it took over a month to fully recover. I agree that maybe they should have passed on this leg of the tour. Hopefully they will be able to finish all the rest of the scheduled dates and make up any that they cancelled for those who haven't gone yet.

Same thing I was thinking - I mean, think about how aweful you feel when your nose & sinuses & throat are f*cked up (sorry!) and you're feverish & have chills. Your mouth is dry & your throat is red & scratchy. And the hardest thing to do is go to work or take care of your crazy family, which is stressful beyond belief, moreso because you feel drained & tired & ill.

Now imagine feeling that way & having to go out onto a stage in front of 10,000 people dressed in full costume (or whatever) outside in heat & humidity (or inside in air conditioning to dry you out even more) & SING and DANCE your ASS off so your fans don't think you've given them a mediocre show. And pray the whole time your voice doesn't literally just completely give out on you. AND you're 56 YEARS OLD (I think Stevie looks & feels great for her age, but she CANNOT recover from illness easily anymore, it's just not possible.)

No offense to anyone whose show's have been cancelled (I've been there myself & it sucks!) But I do feel for Stevie. I really hope that she's feeling better by Saturday, but if not, I don't want her to risk her beautiful instrument forever so I can see one more show. Of course I'll be pissed & upset, but I'll get over it - if she pushes too hard, she may not. JMO.

I think the uncertainity about their return rests on Stevie's swollen vocal cords due to her illness. She may be feeling better, but her vocal cords still be swollen because of it. Swollen vocal cords can only be helped by resting them, and if she tries to over do it while they are swollen she could do irreparable damage to her vocal cords. That would mean no more Stevie singing,:( and no one wants that! It is terrible about the fans missing their shows and ticket refund fiasco. It looks like they would try to reschedule instead of cancel these shows, if they aren't touring after the already set dates. :shrug: They must have a good reason for that too.

Get Well Soon, Stevie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :xoxo:
