Is it just me or is he looking very tired? I think he needs to ease up on the tours or scrap them altogether. He's never been that strong physically when touring, but he seems to be doing more and more as he gets older.

He's not getting any younger but if he still enjoys performing then I'm sure he knows what he's capable of and we all wish him well. There are other artists like Leonard Cohen leading the way for Bryan to keep going for quite a while yet.

The May/June schedule next year looks really tough though, not just the frequency of shows but the travelling between. On the plus side, it's (hopefully) a time when the weather is better and lessens the likelihood of viral infections.

Cher roxydude,
You are correct about this scheduling. I just don't understand the thinking behind this?
OK, there are economic advantages but what about the quality of the show for him and the fans together with the risk of cancellation. The insurance premiums must be going through the roof!
Personally, I wouldn't like him to go Laughing Lenny's route of big gigs. I'd rather holiday with the mother in law than go to the 02.
But I do think he should try two consecutive night specials in strategic European cities. Dublin seemed to work a treat. It sold out and my only surprise was the low ticket price. I'd have certainly paid 25% to 50% more for a show with the RTE.
Anyway, I guess he's locked in for next year. Particularly if he's going to make up the canceled European shows.
Salute,
W2
