From The Buffalo News:
Mr. Di Loreto died in his Manhattan home after suffering a cardiac episode due to undiagnosed severe heart disease. He was 30.
Jesus Christ that's awful.

I had a listen to the start of Fountain of Salmacis. It sounds really interesting. Oddly, it kind of evoked a scene in a black and white movie set in a saloon in the wild west. Will have to check out the rest.
That is sad about the pianist though, I wonder what the story is.
Would like to see that.
I am mildly curious why the cutoff at ToTT. Usually Trick/Wind are bundled together so I'd expect 1970-1975 or 1970-1977. I wonder why they included one of the four piece albums and not the other.
Thanks
So basically, you have a few symptoms for a few days then after like 2 days, your energy just goes and your head kills and then after 2 more days the fever and cold etc all come in one big hit.
Also i've seen Covid cases rising alot again and so with that and this new bug plus the winter flu season coming, it's going to be a difficult winter for many it seems.
Ugh that sounds really rough. As Backdrifter said I hope it passes fairly quickly. And I agree, those ingredients you mentioned could combine to make a turbulent winter. Everyone's exposure to bugs has been so curtailed for so long now!
Well it's - you know, it means that - actually I haven't the faintest idea.
Probably the artist thought that particular floating rock needed that extra something. "Giraffe? Rhino? Alpaca? Okapi? No... that's it - elephant!"
It would have made more sense, and be taken much more seriously, if it was an alpaca.
Why? Why is there an elephant on a floating rock? Why??
Funny short description of the Lamb on loudersound.com :
"The mother, father, brother and second cousin of all album concepts is the simple tale of a New York kid who is turned into a fly on a car windscreen (novel beginning), then heads off on an epic journey during which his best day includes getting a topless massage from a trio of snake-babes (who he later eats).
His worst involves being castrated (without an anaesthetic) and being forced to join a colony of ‘slippermen’ who carry their balls around their necks in plastic tubes. Definitely not one for The Bumper Book Of Bedtime Stories. The music, by the way, is brilliant."
really?
The band informed people on social media and their website
The venues informed all ticket holders
We have a thread about this and also a news item on our website, our tour dates page also states the postponed shows
I was just going by the anecdotes here of people finding out third hand but maybe it's just a couple of unfortunate cases.
Shit, tonight? How did I miss this important info?
Reading the other thread about the cancellations, communication surrounding the issue doesn't seem to have been very effective.
It's for interdimensional posters and those of us with flux capacitor-enabled DeLoreans.
Reading about a councillor who's apologised for comments he made on social media involving laughing about dead grannies, demolishing green belt land, telling nurses to f*** off, etc. Leaving aside that and the fact that, as with all such cases, he's only apologising because he's been called out on his comments, I'm struck by the frequent use of that phrase "unreserved apologies" and "I apologise unreservedly". Has anyone ever pubicly offered their reserved apologies?
"Reflecting on the comments I made, I apologise in a restricted, limited way." As opposed to wild, free-spirited apologies that dance around like inebriated elves.
On a related note, the phrase 'apologize for any offense caused' always pisses me off mightily. A way to not apologize at all and make it seem like the target is at fault for not being able to take whatever the offense was in good humor. So it's another dig at them basically in the guise of an apology.
Last night I dreamt I was talking with comedian Alan Davies and 2 other people. I asked them to imagine this: in every kitchen is a chute and a tap. Into the chute we all scrape the leftovers and food scraps from our plates. The chutes convey the scraps to a central processing unit which combines everyone's scraps and converts them into gravy. The gravy is fed through another network of pipes which feed the taps. Thus, everyone has a gravy tap.
Davies applauded me and said the idea was "genius".
But it isn't, is it. It's absolutely disgusting.
🤣
You really wouldn't want those pipes bursting in the winter!

To say I was heartbroken about the cancellation is an understatement, I flew from the U.S. to see them in London only to find out it was cancelled while I was in the air 😢
Oh man. That's horrible. Hope you were able to make something of your time in London anyway.
😆
I do wonder if the pandemic will make us all experts at 'rolling with the punches' or whether the opposite will happen. This end to the current leg of the tour is very unfortunate, strange and somehow unsurprising in equal measure. Feel for the people who made elaborate plans involving travel and enormous cost.
Mama is IMO the peak of the trio era......New course, meaning from Abacab on. . It could have never fit on any previous albums, not even on Duke. nor was it intended to. Still a great song, a pity they didn't follow that path any further. For my money an absolute classic.
Agree, Mama is a masterpiece.
Hahaha.
I said, "my shit's fucked up?"
Well, I don't see how-"
He said, "The shit that used to work-
It won't work now."
So when do we think the London shows will be rescheduled for?
The o2 seems to have some open dates after 18th October, I don't know what the isolation period is, but maybe 20th onwards is doable roughly?
My guess is that it's going to be very tight to make it happen before the US leg of the tour but we'll have to wait and see.
Either way it would make sense not to leave it too long, as they are already well warmed up and in the zone so to speak.
UK tabloid headlines: PHIL COLLINS CANCELS TOUR DUE TO ILL HEALTH.
Predictable distortion bollocks of course, but no less annoying for that.
I saw another, maybe from the Express or something, along the lines of "Tony Banks storms off stage after fight with Mike Rutherford".
😂
