      yeah, it sucks when an alcoholic relapses and drags the whole tour down with him.. He sick; no bad - I hope he gets help. I think he is. Been off twitter for two months, Wish him well -- he was sick, not bad. --though he played badly that night hha... saw him a year earlier. in US -- looked fit and trim but not drunk think. We chatted for a minute. He was cheerful onstage and gave a great performance -- though to them it was probably just another good night's work. The reason he appears so thin in these recent videos is because he's drinking A LOT again. I think it started almost as soon as this tour began for some reason. He's also on metal health meds.....so thank God for mental illness meds" JMHO thanks.

    • @jgwire
      @jgwire 4 місяці тому +2

      he wouldn't live another seven years -- he better get help and pick up the pieces of his career and life. Hopefully, he gets it together -- he better!....he's always singing about never giving up and perseverance and giving it his all. Well, it's either booze or music -- he can't have both,, for real. He's been off twitter two months, since the "incident," - i can imagine how embarrassed he is -- it was no "party," he'll admit. He hated how he came across in Dig. If you saw the movie, you'll recall his "mentally ill alcoholic;'s"" parting words before he killed himself on Anton's birthday.: that he hoped Anton didn't end up like him. At the same time, I can understand why folks are pissed off -- they pay lotsa money to see him, and they want their money's worth. You know, he kept giving their money's worth, through the UK and US twice, Europe. South America, and then it all came crashing down in Melbourne! That's way too much and way too long for a band of this status.....His dad said he hoped Anton before killing himself on his birthday.. They over-toured, Anton relapse and in a they'll be playing "something

      @@johnholcomn8560 Anton, a recovering alcoholic for 13 years, apparently relapsed back onto booze somewhere on this endless, horrible tour of fall 2023. Let's hope he's on a long vacation with his family and receiving treatment for his alcoholism and mental health issues. I can understand how angry folks were -- but frankly, the crowd, which was huge, heckled Anton to the point of exhaustion. Folks hurled bottled water onstage. But Anton walked out drunk. Hopefully, in a year, Anton will have put out another record and this will be just another BJM debacle. Also, Anton is 56. (I'm 64) He' just can't go on long he used to. It will kill him. He knows that. He's sick -- not bad -- trying to get well. Let's wish him well. JMHO thanks.
