Oh, it’s definitely much more than that, but I still don’t get it. It’s not like he’s taking 6 months off to tour with his solo band, it’s probably just going to take him a week or two. If he’s been billed as the headliner for months and then, suddenly, has to cancel because (as it seems) DT can’t let PP borrow him for a few days, the fans are going to be really pissed, as they all know James isn’t really the biggest creative force in DT, so it wouldn’t hurt to not have him around for a week or two.
Doesn’t JP have a guitar camp coming around the same time they’re supposed to be in the studio? Is he going to cancel that as well?
Not trying to get all whiney, btw, I’m actually glad DT14 is their main priority now, but I just don’t think the explanation they gave is the best, and this really hurts James’ solo band image, as this isn’t the first time they’ve cancelled a show/tour.
