OT, but I'm very curious. Has Sam Smith canceled a lot of concerts? Do people think he isn't actually ill? If he isn't ill, why would he be canceling? This is his 6th. IMO, that's a lot for a tour that is only 1/2 way done. To give you some perspective, P!NK only cancelled 1 and rescheduled one out of 142 dates! She sings 100% live too. Wow! That is bad in so many ways. His management needs to get him some help quick!!!

Looked up Sam Smith, and he has had several cancellations due to laryngitis and his voice giving out. He is scheduled for a summer, 2015 tour in North America.

I was thinking he needs a vocal coach, a doctor, a nutritionist, and a physical trainer. Everything is remedial now, though. Before his next tour, he's got to be prepped. I know he's got insurance, but his fans probably don't. With a performance history like this, Sam's future tour insurance premiums will sky rocket.

I remember Adele has vocal issues. Because of poor technique, I wonder if Sam has the same issues. Adam has a very good technique and looks after his voice, so never a problem.

Well, here's my Adam story for today.
I had the Classic Rock magazine on my desk at work and my boss points to to Adam and says "I don't like this guy." In the past, those would usually be fighting words, but this time I calmly asked, "Why do you feel that way?" He says, "Oh, he's too much drama". I asked, "Like how?" And he said, "Oh, he's too theatrical. Like Simon said." Again, I said calmly, "Yes, he is theatrical, but what's wrong with that?" He said "Well, he wears too much makeup." I said "Not anymore", and then proceeded to show him recent pictures of him on Instagram, the first one being "the pose" and the next one being the black and white head shot from iHeart. I said "Look, he hardly has on any makeup. " Then he just didn't say anything. I asked him if he knew he was touring with Queen. He had heard about him auditioning Idol with a Queen song, and I then elaborated on their whole history together, the two sold-out tours, the rave reviews, the awards, etc. I did admit that I've seen him more than 20 times and even saw him in London with Queen. He said "Well he is good." Then he started talking about Idol this year, and how the girls sucked. I then asked, "Did you see him as a judge?" Then he thought about it for a while and said, "Yes, I did. And come to think of it, he did look pretty normal."
Not much was said after that, but this was just a prime example of someone not liking Adam because of the way he looked, even though the person admits he is good. Then even though Adam doesn't look like that anymore, they still have that picture in their heads and choose not to like him. My boss admitted he saw him as a judge on Idol and said he looked normal, but still said he didn't like him when he pointed to the magazine (which also doesn't show him with much makeup).

I wonder if Brian's insurance was significantly higher than Roger's or Adam's during the QAL tour because of his recent health scare and the new knees. <wry snicker> Adam's personal insurance policy on his voice doesn't sound quite as crazy now....

Well, after the Brussels cancellation, we can't say "never" anymore (as in vocal issues have never caused a problem). But "rarely ever" is totally true!
