Well then they should tell us…
funny how you wrote above, "
I think bands should then say it’s personal , they don’t owe you anything, and it’s none of your business." by not giving details, they are implicitly saying "none of your business".
Pick a different career if you want to cancel….
maybe this is the root of the issue: you think they
want to cancel. "hey guys, i'm not feeling that baltimore show... who's in for cancelling the whole gig? we could go mini-golfing instead?"
look at the words they used: "It is, with
regret that we have to announce...", "in this instance,
unfortunately have to take priority over the shows", "As a band we always aim to do everything we set out to, but
sometimes the circumstances just don’t allow this. We’re
sorry to anyone who was hoping to see us, and
we’ll do our very best to make it back to these regions in the near future."
no band wants to cancel a booked show. it's their passion and in some cases their livelihood. they know it turns off fans and sour relationships with promoters, venues, etc. it's a tough decision, but sometimes life requires tough decisions.
It’s a cliche: the show must go on.
i strongly disagree with you here. there are instances when the show must be cancelled.
your absolutism and lack of empathy/understanding is kinda surprising.
