I could also say U2 should play without The Edge, or The Stones should play without Keef.
I've no doubt at all that the shows would be postponed if Jon had to pull out. I fully understand about the casual fans seeing Jon as the main event.
The common opinion is that the diehards are the minority but I think we do ourselves a disservice by sometimes thinking we are a very small minority. A large portion of the crowd would feel the same about losing Richie, Richards or The Edge as they would losing Jon, Mick, or Bono. Which is why I think postponing the shows would have been best outcome- why are the true fans losing out to suit the casuals.
