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.
