Actually it can make perfect sense. Stevie fell ill in April, ahead of the album launch at the very beginning of May, and pneumonia can quite easily be an end-result of a longstanding low-key viral onslaught weakening the immune system and leaving it open to bacterial infection.

Having said that, I'm not an idiot so here's my new position: I accept that Rod might not have given Stevie the actual infection that led to the pneumonia, because of course that could have come from anywhere, including him but not only. I liked trying to get away with blaming Rod because I don't like him, but you caught me. Oh well.

But we'll just have to agree to disagree on the artistic merits of the H&S tour itself, which I felt was beneath her - not a lot, perhaps, but when I stack it up against what she was about to put out with IYD, there's no contest where I think all her focus should've been. Pretty sure Dave Stewart agreed, too, if his Twitter feed from Jan/Feb '11 is any guide.
