I don't know why that is a surprise to anyone, mate. A few people have told how M just cancels and there is nothing wrong with him. He has often been seen out after canceling.
He was in the cat and fiddle that time with Noel. He knew people would see him, he doesn't give a wanking f***. He has always been like that though. I don't f***ing care about that myself. How I see it he's pure and if he ain't in the mood he ain't gonna do it.
Noel is right, the Palladium gig was fire (all the gigs I went to in the UK were top-notch) as well. This year he has been great live. The last half of the last few gigs in Vegas were fire. His show in Oakland was fire. (I went to all those) . I didn't go to the San Francisco gig, f***ing work got in the way,, but that one looked brilliant AF.
My friends in NY said those gigs out there were awesome. For next years UK gigs, i will go to everyone this time. Hopefully, I will catch him on a few back here in the USA as well.
Edit- I like the credit card line. funny as f***. The funny thing is some people actually think he doesn't have a cell phone.
