I'm wondering what they'll end up doing. It might be safer to everyone involved to postpone the show. Flights are already cancelled, roads will be closed, etc. You don't mess with a hurricane. BUT I do know what a terrible decision to make, and no matter what you do, people will be unhappy. Also, I feel so bad for people. I know how I'd feel it it were my show and I'd waited this long to see them. (((Houston)))

Have they ever had to cancel a show? I can't recall one.

I think they did once.. but Jonny and Chris went out to the line and played an accoustic set to them.. I can't remember when this was, but a few years back now.. Someone might have more details.
Any further news on the Houston Gig?

And strangely enough, I was about to post about when they cancelled a previous show, also due to a hurricane in the States. I was about to dig it out when Atlas Project did the work for me today, thanks Atlas Project!

Been a bit busy lately. I saw all this. I hope everyone stays save. I am sure the men take a wise decision, but I can imagine they want to wait as long as possible before cancel to make sure it is nessicary...

Its dissappointing for everyone going but this hurricane looks nasty so they've made the right decision
I know situations like this are not funny but I bet Phil has been taking some jibes from them all lol

It's a pretty scary storm. I keep seeing the red move over Houston and I'm glad they are rescheduling. Fans will be disappointed, but the band will be able to reschedule or do something nice for them I'm sure....
