2020: The New Album

Beside it's already a known past artist (Jennifer Nettles), is already a known past song (Do What You Can). So one word... boring.
If it's a different song, boring too 'cause I never liked duets in general.
I don't think it's Who Says You Can't Home again.
So hopefully it's a quick campaing.

I don't really care about this duet. I'm more excited about the IHeart event friday and saturday.

It's not Jon; it's David. David is prioritising his musical work over the band.

By the way, I think that is perfectly okay and fair play to him for following his passion, but it speaks volumes about what the "band" is today.

Or it's just that it wasn't workable and the band had to press on for promotion for the album...

Honestly.. I wouldn't interpret too much into all this.
David never made a secret out of it that he loves the band and he loves to play with the guys.
I think he didnt really have a choice, bec being with the band would have meant several weeks of quarantine for him.
The whole team of Diana has to stay in a hotel, being quarantined and is not allowed to have contact with people not involved with the production. The rules seem to be really strict here.

For sure Diana means alot to Dave and the taping for Netflix is a huge step in his career besides BJ. He can't postpone the whole thing, so he had to decide, and its clear that in this case this is more important to him, than a promo-gig who will be streamed online.
I am also pretty sure that JBJ is OK with it. He always supported Dave with his "2nd job". He was the one who sent Dave to the Tony-Awards even when this meant that he would miss a show, and he was also the one who included "Diana" in the video for DWYC.
He knows that Dave wouldn't leave or even hurt the band, and this was the FIRST exception that David made to quit a job with the band.

The times are weird and being at least 2 weeks (or even more) out of the rehearsal- and taping process, just bec of one promo-gig, would have been just too much, even more since he seems to be one of the most responsible people working on this musical - production.....

I thought Bj will appear once on the iheart concert where they ll perform a 7 to 8 song set, including some new material and there will be another recording of the album in full where we dont know how it will be aired

At the end of the day, they're doing a promo set. Nothing too different from them playing a couple of promo songs at TFI Friday 1996, for which Jon also let Tico go to take care of his art exhibition and used a replacement drummer.

I thought they were on both nights but could be wrong. It’s just how interpreted the poster on Instagram.

I read that they are doing 8 "hits" the first night and the whole 2020 the 2nd night. But this is not comfirmed..

i think phil x was the source for that, but i guess its 2 completeley different recordings, not for i heart, anyway looking forward for the nEw stuff with a little bittersweet flavor.
