This.

Cue the people on this board that said that some "diehards will never be happy and would blame Jon for canceling".
I'm actually one of those people.

That's why I'm surprised by the positive response; especially given Billboard's statement that he's been fighting this since last Saturday. Everyone seems to be in agreement that Philly was one of Jon's best performances since the tour started. That was on Friday and people have, at times, found it hard to believe that someone who performs at his best one night could possibly be fighting off bronchitis or something less than 24 hours later.

Fans often point out how Jon always carries on, despite obstacles that would stop ordinary mortals (illness, injury, grief, etc.). So I'm also pleasantly surprised that more people aren't disappointed that he actually used some common sense in this situation.

From what I've seen on this board, most people tend to assume the worst, especially when their apple carts have been upset. As Kenobi said, it's probably a good thing Jon didn't cancel Pittsburgh. Maybe that gives any skeptics in the room the "proof" they need that he isn't faking it, or canceling for other reasons.

Or maybe, just maybe, the "skeptics" are usually skeptical because of how Jon's performances and not his character and would thus react positively to any decision that would be based on improving his chances being fit to work; in this case - sounding better.

I guess Denver won't be getting the regular stage and full setup. It's impossible.
I heard somewhere here that they have two stages for exactly those kinds of situations.

They have two stage but only one set of production so... I'm guessing Denver is going to be moved or cancelled.

I would check with the company from which you purchased your tickets for a refund. I read Facebook comments that Ticketmaster was issuing refunds. Hope that is true.

Sorry you will miss the concert.

Jon's mother reportedly told people he had asthma at a fan club event years ago. That is the source of that.

I agree 100%. We should probably mark this day on the calendar.😆
