World Tours, Cancelled Tours and Tours Which Should be Banned

As if the Spice Girl tour was not bad enough, now we’ll have the Jackson Five reunion thrust upon us. When the Jackson’s first performed they were five, fresh faced, black skinned boys in their teens (or younger in little Michael's case). Now they are no longer boys, or fresh faced and one of them isn't even black anymore. I can only guess this has come about because something has to be done to keep the Neverland Ranch in animal feed and Michael can't face touring on his own with his image in such tatters.

Amy Winehouse on the other hand has suddenly cancelled her tour in order to continue her very public nervous breakdown. Even Brittney Spears has not managed to loose it in such a spectacular fashion. First she was booed on stage during an earlier gig and now, with just 2 hours until she was supposed to sing, she has cancelled the tour. Musical Stars falling apart is nothing new, but Amy seams to be dragging her fans along for the ride too, which I doubt many really signed up for. Still this is just the sort of troubled genius stuff that pop legends are made of. Pete Docherty practically built a career out of falling apart but is still bouncing back, so we have to hope Amy Winhouse can do the same.

Luckily, in all of this madness, we still have Saint Kylie to show the young upstarts and worn out has beans how a true performer is supposed to behave, and next year she's even coming to Sweden to do a show in Stockholm.
