I've seen people come back to work after 3 months, half a year, one year or more and they were doing great afterwards. But you're right, if I understand what you wrote correctly, Von is 65 and he doesn't actually work in finance.

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

It's a real photo, that's a real dressing room. It just looks fake due to being massively resized. I'm sure there's a full-size original on an SD card somewhere but the reason it looks a bit weird is because it was resized from a very small picture which is being used in promotional graphics/flyers for Nova Rock. These are made at 1920x1080 resolution, to be displayed on a phone. The Sisters photo takes up a very small portion of that.

It's been blown up using a classic resizing/filtering algorithm called Lanczos resampling. It's meant to preserve the smooth edges and prevent jaggedness when you enlarge an image, but if you push it well beyond its capability (like, say, taking a tiny thumbnail and making it massive), then it can put weird artefacts around the edges, such as the white line around Andy's arm. Keep a look out, you see this everywhere if you're attentive.

Nothing to be alarmed about.

I think that there was someone else next to AE who has been cropped out before he was cut n pasted. That's why his arm is an odd shape.

That group photo does seem strange, blurry and somber, as though it has been manipulated. And why go on tour if you don’t want to? There’s certainly more than enough money to go around.

As for Master & Servant, that’s a helluva lot better than Mommy Dearest. At least you can switch places. Um, yes. :lol:

There ain't nothing like a festival crowd!
There's too many people, so we play too loud!

Oh my, this terrible photo again. Don't know why Chris is not in it.
Instead, Nova Rock are telling us 'Ravey' Dave Creffield is behind The Doktor tonight ... :lol: ...
We'll see ... :wink: ... and anyway ... enjoy whoever is lucky enough to be there ... ;D ;D ;D ...

Awesome. Guess the band? Easy mate, that's Samurai, rock legends who personify the notion of a slight case of overbombing 8) :notworthy: :lol:
There is increasing evidence to suggest that Chris may have been being sarcastic.

So Von played 4 shows in 5 days without coughing up a lung / having a heart attack?

His voice does sound shockingly strong! Very happy to hear it.

Ah so you've never played Cyberpunk 2077 or heard of Johnny Silverhand? In which case that joke would not be expected to register, no matter.

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
