The postponements could be due to any of a thousand reasons. We'll probably never know for sure.

What is the Kelly Clarkson situation. Did the VH shows in Vigiana and Ga sell bad. I really think its a flu bug problem. They just added Sacromento show in April. You can see it on ticketmaster web site. Lets hope for the best.

I'm telling you it has more to do with starting their week break early than any implosion it seems that so many of you are looking forward to.

Exactly. Could have been a bad tire on the bus, or maybe Alex cracked a cymbal. We'll probably never know.

I'm not hoping there's an implosion. I have $1100 invested in the postponed Gwinnett show. That's the last thing I'd want to happen.

It was during all the controversy over her "My December" album and disagreement with Clive Davis. Ticket sales for the arena concert tour were so poor, the whole tour was scrapped before it started. Even Live Nation admitted they'd bit off more than they could chew. It was later scaled way back and scheduled for smaller venues. Totally different situation.

Kelly Clarkson cancelled her entire concert shows due to lack of sales, which is one of the rumours floating on.
I'll stick with the flu rumour.

Not sure if this has been asked already, but does anybody know if the Police cancelled/postponed and dates on their tour?
The Sones are damn near 70, haven't heard of this happening with them much, 'cept for Keith falling out of a tree, and even then, fans were informed why it was taking place.
This F'ing band....(shakes head, walks out of room)!

Relax guys. I've had tickets to 3 Van Halen shows and two of them have been shit canned.
It's just part of being a Van Halen fan.

So that makes you sure that he is off the wagon?

Sell 'em if you're sure it's not gonna happen.
I saw them in Denver and they kicked ass. I had to read all the negative shit leading up to the Denver show. Had to endure the looooong holiday break, wondering if they would even come back. They did. So, fuck all the negative folks out there. I'm sure it'll turn out to be nothing big, and you know we'll never know the truth. So, fuck 'em, fuck the negativity and fuck the whole situation. It's a band people! I swear...

Read the Ft lauderdale reviews.. Ed was sober and the band along with Ed kicked ass. Sell your ticket and save the money for the other half. Sammy can tell you how Miller should be your king of beers

I wouldn't have a problem with that. At least Sam/the other half would probably show up. Shit, do you have any idea how many people these short cancelations affected? People with hotel reservations? People with flights? Money....hard earned money invested in these things, so at the very least....their fans deserve a decent BS story. But this group is so arrogant that amazingly that is beneath them.
Good God. All I can say is it has to be great to be a rock star. Piss all over your fans, and at least 80% of them will excuse it somehow. They need a long weekend?.....from playing music?? Wow!
