Sacramento Concert Cancelled

[HejiraNYC]

Are you people insane? Since when does getting a cold automatically mean that you hate touring or that you are unhappy with the band or that the tour has been otherwise miserable? Where are you getting this impression from? From all accounts (in the press anyway), she is thrilled to be back on the road and touring with Fleetwood Mac. Admittedly, some of the scheduling was tough and the boot heels were too high. The fact remains that Mama is only human and she will get sick every once in a while. I'm sure she is utterly horrified that she is letting down her fans and her band (as well as untold others impacted financially), but unfortunately there is only so much she can do in a diminished state. Can you imagine how agonizing it must have been to do those last two shows knowing that her voice was a bit out of control? I'm sure she must have died a little when her voice cracked during "Storms." Mama is a singer and just a singer in the live setting, so she has to be on her "A" game when it comes to her vocals. It's not like she can mask mediocre singing with histrionic instrumental prowess (cough, cough). She is a born performer. She loves what she does. She loves her band. So don't heckle her while she is down. Let's all chill and wait until she bounces back before we all start prognosticating the band's demise again.
