We supported the band like crazy in the golden circle. However, when I draw the line, here is what I get:
- we gave them a helluva welcome
- we screamed, shouted and made noise as if there were no tomorrow
- we get a short set because of Jon's allergy
- Jon gets back to the plane, getting ready for the rest of the tour.
He didn't lose anything that night. But we lost a whole ****ing hour of pure excellence. I know I may sound cruel. When you get 1 show in 30 years, you want the best, the longest, the most perfect performance. I didn't get that. It will take me quite a while to learn to accept what happened in the end.

Shit happens, get over it. You got a 2hr show, Jon got sick, bad luck. If this setlist was one when he was healthy and on form, but saving himself for another show, then yes I would understand you being pissed, But the show was cut short due to Jon's condition. The original setlist was longer, so complaining what other cities will get is irrelevant. Like I said, shit happens, and sometimes there isn't anybody to blame.
And don't use the 1 show in 30 years card, that's irrelevant. If a big Bulgarian fan wanted to see a show so much on previous tours, they could have gone to another show in somewhere like Croatia or Italy, it ain't that hard.

Why don't you come in Bulgaria, find a job, earn EUR 300 - 400 per month and then say what is hard and what is not?

Nice bedside manner. The guy is disappointed and he will be for a week or so, then he might 'get over it' but without knowing his personal circumstances, your helpful advice of travelling to another country to see him sucks balls. I understand you want to defend Jon but you just come across like a total idiot here. He's gutted, you've probably never been in his situation and if you have, you should appreciate it rather than take the opportunity to act like a douchebag.

Calm down sunshine, and nothing that I said warrants the term ''idiot''. I am anything but. It's just a concert, which he got. Was it the one he wanted and/or felt he deserved? No. Like I said, it happens. Nobody is entitled to everything they feel they deserve, life doesn't work like that.
And you call me a douchebag? Grow up you silly little imbecile.

One thing I will say is, maybe the comment about travelling to another country to see them was probably a flippant comment of mine, as I didn't give it much thought, just that many 'fans' on here go to multiple europe shows.

True that, I'll take that part of what I said back regarding going to other shows.

The rest of my comment still stands, though

Put aside what I said and read what you wrote and keep in mind that you know NOTHING of the person you're writing to. Now tell me you didn't behave like an idiot. I've no idea why you even wrote a reply to his post.

It stank of the kind of patronising cliches that insecure people use to make themselves feel big and tough. I've called you on that, so you keep up the façade and roll out the metaphorical face slaps of 'sunshine' etc... wow... you really took me to school.

If I'm an imbecile, then calling you an idiot was being kind.

It's a discussion forum, hence my replying.

You're showing your true colours now, that's ok, I think I know enough now to make up my mind about you. We won't be talking again, but I don't think either of us will be losing sleep over the matter

True colours?

I called you out for talking down to someone... you're right, those are my true colours. But yeah, you take that high road...

Be proud.

Just to add... 'we won't be talking again... ' Does Guy Richie direct you?

He's far from an idiot, just giving his opinion. Although I feel for the guy who got a concert cut short, no one died. I dunno, maybe they should have re-arranged but surely that would have brought more complaints from those who paid for travel/hotels.

Although Jon's allergies are a pain in the arse in outdoor venues in the summer, having watched the clips it's clear he gave all he could in that show. Just hoping this whole tour makes a an upturn, anytime before the Manchester show would be good 👍

I have enjoyed his posts in the past but you'll notice, I said he 'came across like an idiot.' For someone who you believe is far from that, he could have very easily swallowed his pride, re-read his post and been honest, instead of all this 'sunshine' bollocks.

'Just giving his opinion' is one thing but moving from 'get over it' to 'playing the 1 show in 30 years card' or whatever, just seemed totally unnecessary; he has NO idea who the guy is. Read it again, imagine you don't know him and tell me it's not over the top.

The chap who went to the show is suffering right now and in a week or two, he'll probably feel for Jon as much as the rest of us. But he will NEVER get that show back... no matter how much you empathise with JBJ, that must be gutting.
