They should pack it in. I can't imagine the tickets will sell anywhere close to the same levels as before. When LB left in 1987, at least Stevie was still near the peak of her fame and they had a hit album to promote when they hit the road. I had to give away my ticket for that tour because I discovered my SAT was first thing the next morning. But I still bought one.
But what's the draw now? It seems like they've really milked the market with two back-to-back tours from 2013 to 2015 and then Stevie solo from 2016 to 2017. The Christine-is-back factor is no longer fresh.
Unless they are completely contractually bound to go through with this, it just seems kind of pointless. What's the real future with this lineup? I'm sure Crowded House has lots of nice material and is better known overseas, but for most of us in the U.S. that can even remember, it was essentially a two-hit wonder in '86-'87.
I think they should just stay home and send out holograms of themselves from 1977. Sheryl Crow can open.
