Ferry ever the businessman is trying to juggle commerce and art here and commerce is winning out. Perhaps a handful of more intimate shows in support of the new/old album could still be arranged as well as the regular band shows? Having said that if we finally get my signature song played live at the Royal Albert Hall I for one will consider the venture worthwhile.”
Mes Amis,
“True2Life” speaks truth to power.
W2 will keep his powder dry until he sees the set list and line up but this could be the first ever Roxy or Ferry tour he sits out.
He just can’t handle another bland show.
Sad because the Bitter-Sweet arrangements are fabulous and the perfect vehicle for today’s voice.
