Maybe it'll be fine, maybe she is happy to do two of the London shows and just doesn't want to be swept back into the Black Hole by doing others, but I do worry a little that the weight of expectation now - on Chris principally, but also on Mick and Stevie for having announced this to the world's media - might not sit well with Chris.

And I imagine there will be lots of booing and chants of "Christine! Christine! Christine!" during the September 25 and 27 shows if she didn't show up. I don't think their egos (yes all of them,
including Chris' relatively small one) could handle that. The pressure would be immense on Mick, Stevie and especially Chris, though.
