Seriously? OMG! WTF?

The Who and Roger Daltrey were playing their first song at The Tampa Ampitheater last night when Roger Daltrey just walked off the stage. After several minutes of an empty stage Pete Townsend came out and said that the show was canceled. He told the audience, "I just talked to Roger and he can barely speak. I tried to get him to come out here, but he's really, really sick." According to AAP the crowd cheered when Townsend then announced the show was rescheduled for March 25th. I understand why he did what he did, but I would be p!ssed if I were at that show.

A rock band have been banned from an entire hotel chain after causing thousands of pounds of damage, the hotel has said. Up-and-coming Dundee four-piece The View damaged several rooms at a Travelodge in Liverpool following a show in the city in November. Damage was eventually estimated at about £7,000, and a bill was presented to their manager. Travelodge also sent a letter to the band’s management this week advising them the musicians were banned from all of its 300 UK hotels. A Travelodge spokesman said: "The View are banned from every Travelodge in the country. "We don’t care who they are, they acted offensively and were anti-social to other residents. They are not welcome back. "This rock and roll behaviour is not acceptable. People come to us for a good night’s sleep and we have to be mindful of that." The Daily Record newspaper reported that staff at the hotel were forced to break into the band’s room to turn off taps and stop a ceiling from caving in from flooding. The View – bassist Kieran Webster, lead guitarist Pete Reilly, lead singer Kyle Falconer, and drummer Steve Morrison – release their debut album Hats Off To The Buskers next week. It has already produced two hits, Superstar Tradesman and Wasted Little DJs.

STING is in talks to reform The Police for a special tour to mark their 30th anniversary. The group, who have not played together since 1984, are considering a series of summer concerts across the UK. Rehearsal dates have already been planned, say music industry sources. Singer Sting, 55, drummer Stewart Copeland and guitarist Andy Summers would perform their classic hits including Walking On The Moon and Every Breath You Take. The concerts would coincide with record label A&M releasing some material from the band’s back catalogue. A source said: "They were intending to make an announcement in January after all the tour dates had been finalised. "They are speaking to venues about playing in May and June." A spokeswoman for A&M confirmed that "early discussions" with the band had taken place but said there were no firm dates for concerts.
