An honest apology with an explanation of Jon's health issues and why the show was cut short because of that would have been far better in my opinion. But this guy reacts like a spoiled brat anytime criticism may arise somewhere.
Actually I highly doubt that Jon will be in a good enough shape tomorrow and Saturday to go full force for the MSG shows. And these are probably the most precious ones to him on this leg.

Agreed.
MSG shows are the primary shows for the tour and he minimized any chance of getting healthy for them because of his "fighter" ego.
I agree that there was no winner in this situation, which made it a touch choice. And I will never question Jon's heart and willingness to give his all. But when one is faced with tough choices, it's always better to pick the long term-oriented option (protecting his instrument for the rest of his career) vs. short term gains (giving a show for those 15k thousand people in Pittsburgh).
