Christine on stage - Dublin 9/20

True, though Christine could just retreat to Kent, shut the gates and ignore the hooplah! (Though her recent comments suggest she might be a little fed up of doing that.)

I remain optimistic. She can sing Don't Stop with her eyes closed, hands behind her back, underwater. OK, the O2 is a big venue, but she had practice in Maui and it sounds as though she has rehearsed with them once or twice.

Hopefully it'll happen. If it does, and it's the last thing the five of them do together, that will be nice. I'm a Pink Floyd fan, and Live 8 was the best thing they did in about thirty years as far as I am concerned, because it showed that the four band members cared enough to get together and say goodbye to the fans properly (and to do good for a charity). If Chris does that in London, and never resurfaces again, I suppose we ought to be happy.
