Edmonton Show Cancelled
 

Will Be Re-scheduled in June.

From Lynda Steele who works for GlobalTV in Edmonton:

BREAKING NEWS - Edm Fleetwood Mac concert tomorrow nite at Rexall CANCELLED - Stevie Nicks is sick - will resked to June

I also got word that the venue (Rexall) had officially cancelled it.

Damn. Now they're going to have to haul everything up there from New Orleans. Maybe they'll add a date in someplace like Moline as a result.

I've always have found it odd that shows are cancelled prior to the day of due to illness. A 'heads up' announcement the day before would suffice, I think, but to totally cancel it over 24 hours in advance sounds fishy. Anyway, she must be really under the weather, and it's her thing to postpone a few shows when she begins to feel ill to recover.

Great. Now I'm paranoid that more shows will be canceled. :shocked:

Makes sense to cancel the next show to give more time to recover fully.

Apparently Live Nation is saying the EDMONTON show is still on and it's NOT canceled.... Northlands/Rexall in Edmonton may have jumped the gun on this..

edit: Nope... It's been postponed for real.

That's nuts.

Fleetwood Mac doesn't like Western Canada, for whatever reason. I'm guessing somebody threatened to shoot a member of the band in the buttocks, but who's to say?

Now the Edmonton Sun is saying it is canceled:

"Tomorrow night’s Fleetwood Mac concert at Rexall Place has been postponed.

Live Nation, the company putting on the show, said an illness is to blame. It didn’t specify who was sick, although some media reports suggest it’s singer Stevie Nicks.

The band also postponed tonight’s show in Calgary just hours before the legendary rockers were slated to hit the stage at the Pengrowth Saddledome.

Rescheduled dates will be announced soon.

Tickets that were purchased for the Edmonton and Calgary concerts will be honoured at the rescheduled date."

Why do they always assume it's Stevie who is sick. It could have been any one of them.:shrug:

Lindsey was very sick when he was in NM on the UTS tour and still did the shows. I am not saying he would never cancel but it does seem unlikely.

Well, no matter who it is... Sending Get Well Soon wishes for a speedy recovery. Being sick sucks and being sick on the road I am sure sucks 10 or 20 times worse I imagine.

You could be right. I recall reading in the CAH book, of which I know isn't lauded for it's validity but still, of all the times poor Lindsey was extremely sick. Yet, he still kinda made himself go on stage. Or fly on airplanes directly after having a lumbar puncture. I mean, take your pick.

Not saying he's not a trouper, but maybe he would just rather get it over with than have to reschedule and go back...

Possibly. There was always other things to help numb the pain back then anyway. ;)

Ha! Very true - "Sick, who's sick?!" :blob2:

Exactly.

Hate to single out LB again in this thread (what am I talking about I love it), but I'm curious about these NM days...did he have like a cold or just looked/behaved sick? Some people will forge through things if it's not affecting their vocal chords. And other people just use the "vocal chords" excuse for every damn show they cancel. Honestly, Fleetwood Mac isn't that bad...

My friend went to see the Killers and Brandon Flowers sang two songs and left the stage. Then the show was canceled and the doctor came out to explain the severity of his condition. I remember she told me most people (including herself) were just PISSED. Like, why during the frigg'n show...after we sat through the opening acts...and not like BEFORE she drove 3 hours to see them. lol!

But they did reschedule, so all's well ends well. Sometimes. :)

Well, the guy could have thought he could do it - they have those miracle shots they love to give 'em... and I do think they don't want to disappoint the fans, or get sued, or have to reschedule. But, if you're gonna ruin your voice it's not worth it. Sometimes it just needs a rest.

A "heads up" doesn't do much for anyone traveling to the show, as I was planning to. I appreciate them calling it off in time for me to cancel my hotel and my vacation days at work.

...of course, that means I have to go to work today.

I hope poor DavidMN isn't stuck on a bus riding around Canada somewhere...

No thank god.. Denver was my last show for about 2 1/2 weeks. I got lucky this time I guess.:lol:

You sure did!

No Date???
 

:shrug: Just wondered if there was any update yet? Any possible sign of reschedule dates for Alberta?? I DON'T WANT TO WAIT!!! :laugh:

that is what i was thinking this morning~ than would super suck to go all that way by bus just to be cancelled on~

i hope whoever is ill or whatever gets well soon~ i hate seeing other fans dissappointed~ but i also want whoever is ill, to get well soon~
