That was on his birthday. He could have taken the day off and just celebrated or went somewhere else to indulge in xyz if he wanted to. But instead he did a concert in Concord Ca. Either he needs the money, it’s an excuse to get away from Trudie, or something or someone lives in this vicinity that he has something unresolved with so it’s a way to revisit &/or get some kind of resolution.
Or perhaps he is of an age where birthdays don't really matter? Or maybe the best birthday is to be a rock star with 12,000 people cheering for you? He did not have to do a private sound check for his fan club members, but he did. I think that was awesome!
Imagine going to see the pop star you've loved for decades expecting him to sound as good as he did back in his prime and this is what you get. #GiveItUp
This is why it’s always tenuous when people film sound checks. Clueless idiots think it’s a real performance, not realising that artists commonly hold back on their vocals to save their voice for tonight’s gig🙄
His arrogance is extremely off putting. People try to say he’s just shy yada yada yada but that’s BS. He is a musical genius though so he gets away with it to an extent but he’d have been even bigger than he was if he wasn’t such an *ss.
