Cancelled Tour
Current mood:  artistic
Hey Guys ,
I'm writing to tell you that I have cancelled many of my May and June tour commitments in America . The reason for this , is because my mummy and daddy are very rich , and I have never been in a position where i have actually had to do any hard work before . I thought that being a popstar meant going out getting trashed with famous people and sleeping in all day . The fact that this is not true has come as a huge dissapiontment to me , and as a result I am throwing the towel in .
No but seriously , I have been on tour with this album for a year now , I have fulfilled every commitment up to this point . I am tired , but more than that I don't think I have been giving my best performances recently . I have been getting really drunk because i've been so nervous about doing bad shows , and I don't want people spending money on a going to see a show that isnt the best it could be . I am not falling apart at the seems , I am not suffering with exhaustion , I am not pregnant , and I am not going to rehab . I will be here in America , promoting the album and also starting to write the second album , which I am beyond excited about . The LA and New York shows will still be happening , and I am still playing Coachella and Bonaroo and all the other festivals .
I'd like to apologise to anyone who has bought tickets , but you can get your money back , if you take 'em back to the place you bought them from .

I wonder if part of the reason she canceled the tour is because she has not been as well received in The States as she has been overseas?

Fall Out Boy were forced to postpone the first few weeks of their tour because of personal reasons. The reason why was not immediately disclosed. Pete Wentz “Just wanted to give everyone a heads up, we are planning on this being the biggest and best Fall Out Boy show that we could possibly have. Unfortunately, because of some personal issues we had to delay the tour a few weeks. We want to put on the best possible show we can and know that this extra couple of weeks will give us the time to put ourselves in the right place to put on the best show we can. The shows from the earlier part of the tour will be rescheduled to the end but all tickets will be honored for all moved shows. Again we apologize. Our fans really mean the world to us and I promise the wait will be well worth it.”
The Honda Civic Tour begins in Denver on May 11th. All but the Sacramento date were able to be rescheduled for the end of the tour. To see where and when they are playing, you can check out the new tour dates at Fall Out Boy’s MySpace Page.

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.

The View (band) banned from all UK Travelodge hotels |

|  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.

Newly reformed Genesis have announced they will play a massive free concert for 400,000 fans in Rome this summer. Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford will end their first tour in 15 years by playing the Circo Massimo on 14 July. The band – who are playing Manchester and London in July – have so far sold over 800,000 tickets for their European tour, according to the BBC.
Entertainment Wise
That show sounds like it will be amazing.
