find that hard to believe in all honesty what with Keith being discharged from hospital so soon and supposedly getting the all-clear as well as talk about dates being rearranged and existing shows supposedly not in immediate danger according to promoters.
Only reason I can think would be that he was told by doctors that he needs to rest for months, rather than weeks, but if thats the case, I'm surprised the cancellation hasnt been officially announced by now or the 'leak' hasnt come from more sources than we've heard already as the official line is that his recuperation period is "a few weeks"
No doubt by this time next week we'll have heard about either rescheduled dates and a start date for the tour - or else confirmation of what you've been saying.
PS - I amended the title of your thread as its not something thats confirmed as yet

Well...I'm certainly not a doctor but I do have a friend that suffered a serious head injury.
There are multiple possible side effects as a result of a head injury. One of which is fatigue. Sometimes people with head injuried get tired and need to rest after ony a couple hours of activity and then are completely done for the day. I think that it would be difficult to assess the plausability of continuing on with a tour until they see how Keith is going to react to this injury.
Hopefully he'll be able to return to form. |

Amen ! ..... I pray for Keith constantly .
However , probably the best course of action is to completely cancel the European Leg of the tour , give Keith four months of solid rest and then have the band hit the states " HARD " once again this fall ( three month ' mini - tour ' ) .

Trust me...I've never wanted to be right about anything else regarding the Stones as this one!
I just think - as Comin Down Again implies above - that its a bit early to make such a drastic decision as a total cancellation with Keith only being out of hospital less than 72 hours.
Vilhelm (Mickijaggerroo) from Stones Vikings posted on IORR (http://iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,426805,page=2) that the Gothenburg promoter had indicated that he was supposed to have heard by last Friday from the Stones management if the show there was going to have to be rescheduled. No such info was given. Theres a story in a swedish newspaper regarding this (its in swedish naturally - maybe someone can translate) http://iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,426805,page=2
Bjornulf Vik on IORR says that he is expecting no more than 6 shows to be postponed (2 weeks max) with a start in either Gothenburg or St Petersburg |

Are these rumors form all the variuos sources really of any value to us?.....Just endless speculation.... |
|
|
| Gazza |
speak for yourself, but I think its worth mentioning if a promoter is stating that as far as he knows everything is ok
As far as I'm concerned, its more reassuring than just relying on a story from someone else that the tour is off and leaving that unchallenged (not that I'm doubting SSC or the credibility of his source in any way, but if theres a contrary opinion to a rumour that serious its worth repeating). As I have a lot of money invested in shows this summer I'll clutch to as many straws as I can! |

Until one of the Boys comes out of the woodwork it's endless speculation. Someone needs to call a spade a spade here. I imagine Cohl's goddam lawyers are working 24/7 crunching the numbers. Keith can't be THAT bad off. |

All word at this point is utter speculation...
Until Keith flies home, we simply have no real idea how he is progressing, good, bad, or otherwise. |

True. Was encouraged to read that Keith's kids left Auckland 2 days ago and that Keith is apparently left there with just his wife. |

I don't see them canceling a whole tour. It would be a lot of bad publicity. God, I don't want to be near Mick now, and hearing his screams. |

They should just shortbread cancel all the German shows on fucking principle (see, e.g., Munchen auf Putsch hund mund, circa 1930s), then get back to touring the globe fortress style, with an extended U.S. leg, where they are loved more than anywhere. See, e.g., The C10. See, e.g., Madison Square Garden. See, e.g., Moof Piss. See, e.g., the killer goriller Roseland ballroom. See, e.g., help me, help help me, Ronnie. |

First of all, I think we should stop comparing Keith's condition with the similar accident a family friend had, a brain operation our grandma was subjected to last year or the post-operative progress of our cousin  No bashing anyone here, just thinking that each patient is different, as any doctor would tell you, and there's no use comparing one's situation with another's - especially when we don't know much about Keith's one way or another! I believe what I see - the man's out of the hospital just a few days after the operation, he leaves the hospital walking and he makes funny comments when thanking his doctors and nurses. It can't be that bad.
Also, as Gazza mentioned, if we were talking about cancellation, I think we would have heard stronger rumours by now. The only thing that puzzles me is not Keith's condition as it is but whether doctors thing he'll need more time to fully recuperate. But that's a thing only his doctors know, and we'll find out sooner or later.
So please, PLEASE, no more rumours and speculations.
By the way Joey, I love your altruistic way of thinking |

I hope so
i hope my dream will come true
I planned to met the stones 8 times for the bigger bang tour...
if the tour is cancelled, this year will be very sad!!
come on let's take it to the stage |

it may be postponed for a month or three, but the Stones don't generally cancel. Has more than one show ever been totally cancelled? i am not counting China 2003 here |

In 1998, Milan, Bilbao, Gijon, Lyon, and the 2nd Paris show were cancelled. |

Greetings from the rest of the world Joey!!
If Keith needs four months rest then he should have it ....
.. but how about then cancelling the REPEAT visit to the States and rescheduling the European gigs for Autumn (translation: Fall). We'd kinda like to see the Stones in their homeland you know :-) |
|

| Gazza |
EMI in Switzerland have now received confirmation that the first FOUR shows are postponed
http://iorr.org/talk/read.php?1,429131
So, I guess thats all there are for now. Hopefully no more than that |

I agree, US had their share already, don't be so greedy . Only problem is, in Europe the Fall isn't the season for open air shows, and also the football competitions are going etc etc. If they cancel, it would have to be next summer for their visit. |
