Everybody has had at least one encounter with it, and we all know it's awful and could potentially kill him. I don't know what kind of cancer he has, and what the treatment entails, but I hope he recovers 100% (however that's not possible for all cancer sufferers). Perhaps they will plan new shows in Australia and NZ, who knows? I was very fortunate to be at their last show in Amsterdam, and it was magical (even though they showed up 1,5 hrs late and skipped 4 songs because of the delay). Now when I look at the videos from that night, I'm thinking... they knew. They stood up there on stage, knowing that one of them was dangerously ill and that they would not be traveling to Australia. It explains a bit the mood of the show, why Stevie got emotional. Again, I'm so, so sorry for all the fans who are missing out, but the most important thing is that John gets better.

Who are the sources for these conflicting stories? To make such sweeping statements without citing a source is irresponsible - especially is such a sensitive situation. <br /><br />If you're going to claim insider information, please be credible. Otherwise, it just adds to the fog of it all and trivializes John's illness. <br /><br />Love to John - if thoughts and prayers matter at all, you've got mine as well as so many others in the FM community.

People who anticipated this concert for so long are really, really bummed out. At this point they are not focusing on the reason the tour is cancelled, but the fact that no matter what they will not enjoy FM this time around. A little sympathy is in order for these fans who will miss out on this tour, which could have been FM's last anyway, despite John's situation. Let the fans mourn the loss of this unique experience without judgement at least for a little while, because it really is hugely disappointing for them. They will come around soon enough and realize the necessity of cancelling the tour, but for now most fans can't rationally process this news.

He's got excellent doctors - arguably the best in the U.S. <br />They have decided that he needs to undergo treatment immediately, which means he won't be able to stand on stage playing bass for 3 hours. Or travel from city to city night after night.<br />So let's not make it about you or your uncontrollable narcissism.<br />John will recover and life will go on for you too, with or without your Fleetwood Mac tickets.<br />Grow up and show a little humility.<br />And maybe a little empathy/sympathy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620511595417365920.post-16736853794002078782013-10-27T10:09:52.081-05:002013-10-27T10:09:52.081-05:00Im disgusted , the promoters knew the whole time j...Im disgusted , the promoters knew the whole time john was sick and still took tickets from Australians and as usual left us last on the tour .

It happens to everyone that deserves it the least and to everyone that is good in this world and it's just not fair. My heart goes out to John, the band and his family. I really hope this treatment works and that everything will be OK in the future.<br /><br />And I am so disgusted and ashamed of the people who have been posting horrible comments. Who cares if you saw 15 US shows because you're such a 'hardcore' fan? Some of us can only afford to see them once (I was lucky enough to see them in Birmingham last month, but you don't see me showing off about it). As far as I'm concerned, those are the real fans, and if you were a real fan you'd respect the band's decisions and wish John all the best. Because if this goes in a different direction, you won't see another show at all!

And I must say, I absolutely cannot believe some of the insulting comments left on this most sad day. Why anyone would think Fleetwood Mac would release a statement like this if it weren't true is beyond me.<br /><br />As to the illness of John McVie, my heart goes out to him, his family and all of the Fleetwood Mac family. Most everyone in the world has lost someone close to them from cancer and I certainly hope John beats wins his battle with this horrible decease. <br /><br />John is the backbone of Fleetwood Mac and I always thought his bass playing was the singular most amazing thing about the recording of many of their songs. Most notably of course is "Rhiannon" in which his playing is fantastic. And also on "Dreams", "Go Your Own Way", "The Chain". "Beautiful Child", "World Turning" and so many others. <br /><br />God speed his quick recovery or this will in deed be the end of an era for us all.
