Has "Songbird" been cut?

I may have solved the mystery of the disappearing Songbird. As I mentioned earlier Christine wore a black glove when she was not playing keyboards and using maraccas during World Turning. I saw her take this black half glove off for Don't Stop. I was watching earlier shows and for World Turning she did not wear his half glove. I am guessing she is suffering from some sort of carpal tunnel. She probably could play Songbird but piano keys take much more pressure than electric keyboards. If she does have this condition it would make the condition that much worse.
I would not expect to hear Songbird for the rest of the North American tour. Maybe in Europe or Australia but it really depends on how she is doing. They have done 67 concerts in 6 months. Its a lot of finger depressions for hours each night.
I hope she has a full recovery.

So, I wonder if Seven Wonders is connected to Songbird? I mean, does Seven Wonders require anything extraordinary on the piano? Or is that just an unrelated drop. Certainly, I think Seven Wonders got a nice audience response and its exit cannot be explained the way Destiny Rules or DLMDA's were.

I just think they dropped 7 Wonders to shorten the set. This usually happens in the Mac world and especially Stevie's tour world.
Songbird is such a Mac staple there is no way they would drop that song at the end. I just think Chris is in pain playing the piano and could make her hand worse. But hopefully someone will ask Mick this question. This is just my speculation. Christine does not wear one glove to be cool or something.

Wait - has Seven Wonders been permanently dropped? I would be so livid if this was the case. That is the one Stevie song I have waited over 25 years to hear live. As much as I would hate for her to drop anything, Seven Wonders would eliminate the difference between this tour and the last tour. Grrr. Please tell me this is only temporary. Can anyone ask Mick?

It's not fair to the people that haven't seen the show, yet. I agree someone should ask Mick. Love Seven Wonders...

I don't care about Seven Wonders. It was very good live but she didn't write it. I am way more bummed about Songbird. That is really a shame. She sang that so well on this tour.

Any word on the status of the dropped songs?
