Hi HT Man!
Since you live in the UK, has there been any TV coverage showing MICK is actually there? Or reports of Joe's condition and progress?
With rumors and speculation flying, its hard to know what to believe about it. Wonder if MICK can make it back in time, thats about a 12 hour flight! Seems unlikely IMO. |

Well, certainly can't blame Mick for wanting to be there with Joe.
This last US leg of the tour has just been one disaster after another, and laced with tragedy as well.
I think maybe it's time to just retreat and live to fight another day. |

At the ripe old age of 95, it's doubtful. Looking on the bright side, if MICK inherited his daddy's genes, we could have MICK around for another 30 years! |

Just about everyone I know was also going to see The Who AND The Pretenders last night or Joan Jett and Throw Rag so it aint a total wash if the show doesn't happen. |

By the way, I saw JOAN JETT last weekend in san francisco. I went on kind of a lark, but I have to say...IT FREAKIN ROCKED. Catch her if you can. |

MGM's events office is denying this show is off, according to a text I just got from SweetVirginia. She had contacted them because of the 'Sun' story. |

There hasnt been. In fairness, its not a significant enough story to warrant TV coverage
As he was back in the UK on Thursday, that would give him plenty of time to get back to Las Vegas on Friday in time for a show on Saturday evening. |

Too late! They played the same day as Aerosmith/Motley Crue. Plan C had me getting on Throw Rag's list, seeing them then running down the street and getting a cheap last minute ticket outside but a lowball offer on a good pair was accepted so that became thee show of the evening. Saw Joan Jett in 1999 in Palmdale and also seen Throw Rag dozens of times but not recently

Mick is in Las Vegas. Tonight's show will go ahead as planned. 'The Sun' is full of malevolent shit, as usual. |

Mick apparently was told of it when he arrived in Vegas. How sad. |
