Sorry, but it is a difference if the fans talk about songs, concerts etc. because that is made for us. But to interfere in their business contracts that are absolutely behind the scenes is too much. And somehow I don't see a reason for that. Hugh plays bass on all albums and tours, even at Jon's solo-tours so what makes the difference if he becomes a contract in that stands "bandmember"? He would still play bass on the albums and tours.

And IF you really start such a petition you maybe should ask Hugh first if he wants it. Maybe you even act against his wish.
