That is a hard job. Very hard. And it is not payed very well too. So please visit some more shows. They need the cash.

Saint Sway plus they are using all of those 2-3 days off between gigs to rehearse new material for the Fall Very-Mini Tour

and I fear that not all of the rehearsals are exclusively catered by 4-star restaurants!!

Wow indeed! And don't forget this: they have to stay in soccer players dressingrooms for days with no kind of luxury at all!

not true

fortunately they travel with their own furniture and redo the backstage area with private fully custom rooms for each band member so that they dont have to interact with each other on those awkward show days twice a week until they are wisked away after the show to the Four Seasons/Ritz Carltons where each band member has his own floor reserved.

its grueling. And I fear that there isnt enough hundreds of millions for each of them to keep them happy.

its why Woody drinks.

They are punishing Europe for the awful revenue they have given the band over the years. This is not new, this began in 1972 when the band left England because they were being exploited by the tax system (also see 1998 England shows).

Sadly, we predicted this!
