He wasn't. He stormed off to the loading bay doors after leaving the stage. A couple of crew ran after him when he was already outside and led him back inside and behind the stage to the green room.

Hate to break it to you, but this IS the place for obsession! 😁
Maybe you're right, maybe it's just me not having that level of obsession, I fine with the officail line of propaganda, whether it's interviews or The Official Website.

I know it’s several days ago but I’ve got Covid. For all those I was close to, it might be worth testing.

Hope you don't feel too ill!
We only met briefly (lovely to meet you :D). I've had no symptoms
I have seen The Sisters at The Paradiso. I will die happy

Talk about extremes. I was merrily posting about Von walking the barriers earlier in the show.

And to reiterate,Gothicbiff and I bumped into Dylan re-entering the venue via the front door after the show and asked if he was ok, and he clearly wasn't..

Maybe I took the last picture of him as a member of the band?

The general opinion was that he was drunk on stage. Did he seem drunk when you met him? His Instagram still says he's a Sisters guitarist and he recently posted a pic with his gf.
To not know and to ask a question is a moment of embarrassment; to not know and not ask is a lifetime of shame.

Drunk on a Sisters stage? Ben is possibly, and only recently, the only dude ever to play wih the band who hasn't been drunk or etc on stage. Von, when slap bang in front of us singing Dominion, appeared to be ragingly off his tits. Anyway, Dylan didn't appear especially or notably drunk, no, not from the view from front and centre of the barrier, no more than usual. He seemed increasingly extremely pissed off, which was unsurprising given the constant and unimproving horrendous fuzzsqueal that came out the speakers almost every time he strummed a guitar. He clearly was wound up by someone offstage (sound guy? guitar tech? dunno). Eventually he clearly had had enough and started to mime playing his air guitar, at which point the s**t appeared to hit the fan and some unseen boundary of 'professionalism' seemed to have been crossed. I wish he'd have just stayed put and thought 'ah well, not my problem' every time the wall of squeal vomited out of the speakers, he'd presumably still be on tour with them. He didn't, he isn't, the end.

Fab summary! Wish Dylan had gritted his teeth too, but no doubt lots more going on behind the scenes. One thing is for sure, this tour is far from boring.

Best part. Andrew taking Dylan's arm and walking him off stage. I thought from the audience in general's eye it was done tastefully. What happened next as is what other's explained.
I was in a seat the next night. If I'd been there Friday, I would have seen all the right stage stuff. Well Andrew was working right stage Saturday night. So I had a nice view. And I could see. You European's are just really tall. :D

It all seems a shame to me. I met Dylan in Melbourne Airport last November, after the gig there.
He came across as a lovely guy.

Ben is 2 years sober just within the last few months. Actually, during the US tour sometime. 8)
