@ the bench.  what if every band had a bench, just in case.

This tour has got to be extra brutal on James.  I remember reading through the lyrics sheet when the album came out thinking.. holy hell that's a LOT of vocals.

Yes no doubt. He is spectacular on this album too.

The flu was quite brutal over here quite recently (not only in amounts of people infected, but also the severity), so I assume he caught some nasty influenza A virus, rather than having health problems due to touring. And with this show, he really needs to be in a good state as the show is already difficult enough for him as is.

It is but there are still instrumental passages where he can rest and a few instrumentals too.

It shouldn't be THAT much harder than an evening with..?

There are not anywhere close to as much instrumental breaks (or longevity in those breaks) in TA as there would be in a typical DT set.

Regardless of specifics, are we all in agreement that James should not be asked to belt out DT material more than 2 nights in a row? Is the band operating that close to the edge financially that they can't space out the shows more?

Not necessarily.  If he and the band feel that he can handle it fine, who am I to say otherwise?

[cramx3]

Do we actually know for fact if the canceling was due to losing his voice from being overworked or he lost his voice because he is actually sick?

If it's because he is sick then I don't see any reason to discuss their touring schedule as that is not something you can predict.

Exactly.
