True! I can't wait because if they come in my country or at least in some neighbouring countries I'll want to see them as much as possible because this might very well be their last tour.

I have a feeling there won't be any European dates. Jon said in the recent podcast from yesterday that he had stadiums booked in the summer but scrapped that idea. Instead he's doing about 30 shows in the Spring, starting in March. Maybe that includes Europe? Maybe not?

If Jon decides to ignore all of Europe again completely that's a massive FU to the fans that stood by them all through the years, even when america lost interest.

The guy could easily have retired a quarter of a century ago. Not touring as much when he's in his 6th decade on earth is hardly a FU to fans. Relax.

It is if he tours the US again instead of coming to Europe....could easily do 30 dates in Europe. He did the US last year....it basically says "I can't be bothered" or "I'll go where I'll make the most money".

Why does it?
Theyve been here a ton of times in last 10 years.
Id rather short tours if it means longevity.
I can wait for a live show.
But do you honestly think theyll not come to Europe? course they will. Just be much scaled down.
In UK they normally do at least 5 stadiums - theyll do arenas instead. Which I much prefer.

I'm not the one that said I didn't think they would tour here...just that if they did the US again instead of UK/Europe it seems somewhat unfair...

I also have no problem with them scaling down the tours, as long as it's scaled down all over and doesn't just mean that they will mainly only play the US from now on.

I would be much happier with arenas than stadiums

America is their home. Somewhat easier to tour there. You say it's unfair if they don't tour the UK. What about Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Africa etc etc? At this stage in the game they can do, or not do, whatever they like.

Do you realize the contradiction in your statements? If it was “making the most money” that mattered, he would not have CHOSEN to NOT play stadiums last summer.

Before theyve done Twickenham/Hyde Park/Wembley, Coventry, Sunderland and somewhere in Scotland.

I think that they would have to do 1 show at Olympic Stadium or MK Bowl.
Theres no way theyd fill 4 stadium nights now.
