Possible, but it can also be the uncertainity abaout Keiths situation, that they have no clue when he can get back on stage. It can take weeks, months. They have to wait, to see how fast he improve. Today's good news, that he can fly home, tells us that he is improving pretty fast, which is good news for the june-shows. But, considering his situation, I still think most of the shows from june 1th-20th are in danger. He cant go on with the though tour schedule until he's restet for a couple of weeks. And then, they have to rehearse. Don't be too optimistic
