Keane cancel shows. Hope "everyone" understands. Everyone rumoured to be "not bothered".
Posted: 18 Aug '06, 12:51
Keane singer Tom Chaplin, pictured, is suffering from exhaustion, leading to the band's cancellation of a handful of upcoming gigs.
The trio were due to perform in Edinburgh, as part of the T on the Fringe series of events, on August 30, but have now pulled out. They've also cancelled shows in Ibiza (August 23) and Dublin (August 31). They will play the V Festival this weekend, though, as well as Pukkelpop in Belgium.
Chaplin said, via the band's website:
"I am gutted that I have to take a break from touring. I was really looking forward to these dates, but if it means we can do what we've got planned for the rest of the year then I'll take the time off. I want to apologise to our fans, and I hope everyone understands. Be assured we will be back out there soon."
...
Exhaustion = Inability to moderate consumption of drugs & booze
& crisps
and pies.
Drugs & Booze
in this case being half a soluble asprin and a bedtime sherry
I was gonna say...
...do you think Keane take that many drugs.
In a way I hope so 'cos it finally blow the theory that "taking drugs make you make better music" completely out of the water.
he does look tired and fat
well nothing has changed then
Mate of mine works for Island
and says Chaplin's become a bit of a coke monster. That can be a good thing (Bowie) or a bad thing (Be Here Now)...
Hey Joey can I suggest you add 'alledgedly' after the above
Just for DiS's sake.....
He means Coca Cola
to wash down all those pizzas and crisps
It
must be so exhausting whining for about 2 hours a day to a room full of accountants. my heart bleeds, mostly for the poor sods that have to hear his toss
shame
he was only just showing off in this weeks NME about how hardcore they were and "we live fast and dont intend to change" looks like they couldn't manage it...
bye bye fat head!!!!
hohoho
moribund made me chortle. cruel cruel cruel!
The new album
is actually great.
yeah they arn't that bad
....but he does have a chubby face. and is richer than us.
Tag team
Coldplay and Keane are like some hideous tag team. You just get over the banality of one album when up pops the other one for another half-nelson of tedious mediocrity. Will we never be free.
Moon Face
I last night returned from the V Festival where me and my brother led a chorus of people to sing "Is it any wonder got a moon face?" whilst watching Keane perform their latest "pop hit" Is It Any Wonder?. Even though the ammended line didn't make much sense grammatically because we were unable to fit in an 'I've', the V-goers we encountered seemed to very much enjoy the chant and recognised that we were only having a little bit of gentle fun at that ruddy, fat-faced toff with his silly white belt that fronts this maudlin bunch of MOR wasters.
Is it any wonder I went to see whether there were any fit, orange chavettes hanging around the Girls Aloud tent??
i reckon
that tom chaplin will be the voice of rupert the bear if they ever make a feature length film.
Rupert
I think that you're probably right about that. God knows a cover of the Frog Chorus would be better than their last single....
Well its
reported on Today FM thats he's checked into the Priory with drink and drug addictions.
He can room up with Pete then. Heh.
From 2004 interview
Keane's tour bus is about as raucous as you would expect from piano balladeers. Chaplin admits, "We're prone to the odd evening out and things get a bit wild. But our music is very important to us, and you have to wake up and be ready to go out there and give people a good show, not be miserable and hung over and wasted. It's not a big rock and roller atmosphere. We're not in the back with bags of cocaine."
AHAHAHAHA

I personally think
the stress of being the sole keeper of the ring has lead to this breakdown.
