Guys hi, hello from Macedonia, this is my first post but i've been following this forum occasionally.
I'm DT fan for 20+ years, saw them live 3 times(2002-New Jersey, 2008-Zagreb, 2014-Zagreb meet&greet package), undoubtedly the best band in the world. No one is nowhere near them.
Me and two other friends had tickets for Trieste show and arrived on Saturday at Trieste. Obviously, we were excited to see DT performing 'The Astonishing' at Trieste theater.
It was bit strange when JP tweeted almost 24hrs before Trieste show 'ciao Italy', i thought for a second, did they forget Trieste show?!
On Sunday, i went around 16:00 to pick up my tickets at theater and then i saw several people(couple from Slovakia, guy from Sardinia and another couple from Venice) talking with, i assume, one employee from Trieste theater. He was explaining that tonight show is cancelled due to the fact that singer lost his voice. They(Trieste theater) received this info at 08:00 AM.
Man, that was hard thing to swallow, especially hearing this information few hours before the show and moreover not from DT camp(tweet, facebook or other means). I think that JR announce it around 17:00. All the people that i spoke with were wondering how come they release this statement an hour and a half before the show when theater had this info at the morning(
it could save unnecessary trips for a lot of people).
Anyway, JLB take care and feel well, we'll see on the road on another occasion.
Just wanted to share this painful story....
