We are sorry for any disappointment this has caused and look forward to seeing you again soon. Refunds for Sunday, single day tickets available at point of purchase: info@delunafest.com If you would like a refund on single day or 3-day GA passes purchased directly from LinkinPark.com via TopSpin, please click HERE and fill out the necessary support form before October 10, 2011. -Chester, Rob, Brad, Phoenix, Joe and Mike -------------------- Interviews, Album & Concert Reviews! |

Well at least this means a little more studio time.

Wow...bought plane tickets and a ticket to the show and everything to fly from MA. This is bullshit. But I won't bitch. Hope Chester feels better.

FYI, whenever a situation like this happens where someone is under doctor's orders not to perform, it's usually a liability issue that actually keeps them from performing. An unfortunate side effect of being in a major band is that whenever you go on tour, you have a BIG insurance policy taken out in case something happens to you while you're on tour. In Chester's case, something did happen, and once he saw a doctor about it and was told he needed surgery, continuing to perform would probably void his (or more accurately, LP management's) ability to make an injury claim under their insurance policy, or even void the policy altogether, which would mean they'd be losing a TON of money, way more than they would've made back by going on with the performance.
So, in a nutshell, if you're going to be angry about this, blame it on LP's insurance company. Chester is probably physically capable of performing (he finished the Asian tour with the injury, after all), but it's really out of his control. *Edit* I'm guessing this will probably result in Chester's appearance at that one benefit show/the rumored DBS show next month being cancelled as well.

Or maybe Chester just really needed that surgery to prevent further damage.

Great, dude. -------------------- QUOTE (R2DeepThroat @ Dec 15 2011, 04:26 AM) Fact is people need to stop harshly slapping the "sellout" label on bands that NEVER ONCE claimed to be some anti-corporate entity. If you call any band a sellout that didn't have some explicit claim to integrity, you're really only saying "They changed and I cried." |

Wow, they need to go on a longer break to recover themselves because they haven't been that much into the whole touring cycle in my opinion...
The whole A Thousand Suns production/tour must have been very exhausting and nerve-stretching for them, I'm glad the cycle is over now. Anyway, I'm sorry for those who wanted to see them

Anyway, I'm sorry for those who wanted to see them maybe is the most stressfull tour because they visit a lot of country and they had to travel so much, but on stage they're simply unbelieveable; I've seen the italian show and they're just amazing. other than I'm sad they're cancelled this show because US got very bad luck (3 show cancelled early this year, 2 rescheduled and now this) and also beecause I was really looking forward to this as maybe would be again some surprise just like the two august US show; hope they'll tour again in 2012 This post has been edited by LPU90: Oct 5 2011, 11:03 AM -------------------- I TRIED SO HARD

I wonder if Chester's should problem dates back a few months. I remember at the MSG show he had some medical/physio tape on this neck/shoulder area.
