I heard that. It's a shame. Sorry to hear about the postponement as well. I guess you will have to make "alternate plans". Cheers Leelee!!
yeah..it is a shame..a loss for sure.
I'm not worried about us..we'll figure something out.
Thanks!! and HUGS!
So sad.... Dad alerted me this morning as you know...
I would expect they will reschedule after their European swing...
I read that too. He wasn't at the concert I went to though. Too bad they postponed but I understand.
Yes Bond..perhaps they will. We shall see.
VE - I understand too,..my loss of going to the concert seems insignificant compared to the bands loss.
Thanks guys
HUGS!!
It shows class that they didn't take a "The show must go on" attitude.
From what I understand Federici and Springsteen were childhood buddies.
Bummer for you too.
I'd rather see the band after they have said their goodbyes instead of while they are grieving; better vibes.
That's too bad. I had read the article and thought of you, didn't realize it put off your plans though.
Jeff - Yes, I agree..they do hve class and heart.
NYD - me too I do hope they reschedule.
Phos - Thanks Phos. Life happens.
HUGS all!!

Yes Pug..they were life long friends
