May 27, 200917 yr well i was having a shit day before i found this out and this was just spectacular news. i was actually pissed at coldplay and chris for about 1/2 a second, but that subsided. i was generally annoyed at my lack of luck. my first concert...postponed. i thought i was lucky for them to even be coming up to saratoga, but it turned out it was too good to be true. actually this is probably a good thing (unless they just cancel the concert - which would like lead to either :veryangry2: or :( reactions on my part) if it means we'll get a better concert. i also feel bad for chris and the band. they've been pushing themselves to the limits. its unfortunate that limit had to be my show...MY FIRST SHOW...but its ok. i just hope coldplay doesnt let me down with this. i dont consider chris being sick a let down. but cancelling the show and just giving refunds would be a big one. i really dont want anything like that to happen and for it to skew my feelings about the band. id prefer to continue to bow down to coldplays greatness rather than be annoyed at them. oh, be positive, footyfun. I hope that you can go somewhere to see another concert! i am praying for Chris, hope him get better! I'll be the next one June 1st, and I have prepared for it, and I made up my mind to go there by myself,,, I pray for him, i pray for the band! 'Cause they are the best band in the world!
May 27, 200917 yr i hope chris is OK! :hug: and to anyone who was supposed to go to the show tonight, and least it's postponed and not cancelled. :)
May 27, 200917 yr No, I noticed it too, he was making a huge effort but was definitely "not himself".
May 27, 200917 yr well he seems te be suffering while singing on this video, or is it me? It's not just you.. It looks like it hurts:( Well I hope that it is his burned arm and not his voice.. Because if he has voice problems, then it could take a while before it healed I think..:) I'm sorry for the people who where about to go to the concert:(
May 27, 200917 yr Aww poor Chris, I really hope he feels better.. the boys have been touring so much these last few years.
May 27, 200917 yr Yeah, I don't know if it's showing up like this for you guys as well but when I went to Coldplay.com right now, it doesn't even show the Saratoga Springs, NY show anymore on the left.
May 28, 200917 yr i'm so sad. i drove from montreal to this show for nothing, wasted 2 days from work, and spend needless money for a hotel. chris' voice must be in tip top shape for osheaga now!
May 28, 200917 yr Oh man nad, so sorry to hear that. I was in a flat panic when I flew to one of the melbourne australian shows that something like this would happen to me. It's just one of those things that no-one can do anything about. Get well soon chris.
May 28, 200917 yr When he talked the sounded a bit rough. so, guess the doctor finally had his way after the show. I can totally understand people getting annoyed with postponing the gig but at the end of the day if he is too sick to perform or in danger of long term damaging his voice there is nothing anybody can do. They are just normal people like us when they sick they are sick. P. I'm sure Chris has to be the most difficult patient ever :rolleyes: Can you imagine trying to tell him that he can't perform? He must be feeling really bad if the doctor got his way :\ And yeah, his voice definitely sounds a bit rough when he talked in that video... I can't tell about his singing, though, because that girl is singing too loudly for me to hear Chris :P
May 28, 200917 yr i'm so sad. i drove from montreal to this show for nothing, wasted 2 days from work, and spend needless money for a hotel. chris' voice must be in tip top shape for osheaga now! LLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL Me too ... :embarassed:
May 28, 200917 yr his voice was a little rough when talking. he sounded like he had a cold. poor thing. i hope he's alright!!! :kiss:!!!
May 28, 200917 yr I feel so bad for the people who missed the show... i know how disappointed I would have been :cry: But better that they reschedule it than have them do a bad show. A bad performance would have been even more disappointing - part of how great the live shows are is the banter and energy from Chris. At least they are coming back to the States in July & August so they will probably reschedule it for then. Not too long to wait! :)

I can't tell about his singing, though, because that girl is singing too loudly for me to hear Chris :P Would Chris be annoyed on what the doctor say? I guess so,, I admire whoever listened to the video from the beginning to the end! It's a really a rough voice for that girl!
May 29, 200917 yr Not one to stir up trouble(;)), but some obtuse individual has spammed nearly every Coldplay related clip on Youtube with the following: "I drove two hours to see these faggots in Saratoga Springs, but they cancelled. Thanks for wasting my time and money, Assholes. Don't ever buy tickets for a Coldplay show! They're notorious for cancelling at the last minute. The "apology" on their shitty Web site was totally lame and insincere. They owe me money for fuel, wear and tear on my vehicle and my time. Plagiarizers!!!" It's so far beyond the usual level of weird rage filled rants on Youtube it made me chuckle. If nothing else you have to admire the sheer amount of time this guy must have spent to spam so many videos. Though I highly doubt he's an actual pi$%ed off fan as opposed to just trying to start a flame war...

May 30, 200917 yr Well... Since the Jones Beach show was never actually on sale, it does make more sense to go ahead with the scheduled show, if it's only practical to do one. Perhaps they will work out another date for Jones Beach...
May 30, 200917 yr now i have just All Points West....any way well i hope they'll keep atleast that date....for me..... Any way i am very sad today....
