QuoteWuudy The tickets for all the Aussie concerts went so fast, they know that there's a massive demand for them here. I wouldn't mind betting that they do some extra shows in the Asia-Pacific region so that they can try and claw back some of the costs, and as a thank you to fans - maybe another Singapore, Wellington, Hawaii, some smaller venues in Australia. But we'll have to

Brian was dead man walking, and Mick wasn't sleeping with him. And, like others have said, no one wants to see Mick prancing around and asking, "Are you having a good time?" Too weird. It reminds me of seeing Madonna and Billy Idol 2-3 days after 9/11. It was a huge elephant in the room, and no one was focused. But it's a valid question.

QuoteDoomandGloom What a person chooses to do as far as work is a personal decision. Mick Jagger is responsible for the livelihoods of many good people that depend on him to hit the stage 100% of the time. He deserves our sympathies but we should not forget this is show business, on days like this we get a glimpse that's it's not such an easy job.... Agreed. Feel terrible for Mick.
