About the ill part..I know we asked people who worked at the 013 about the afterparty and they all said the same, the singer is too ill for the afterparty, the gig took too much energy... Even someone from the crew said he was taking pills...Now, I thought they rocked as well and didn't seem ill at all, none of them..but in my mind a thought began (dare I say it..) Eldritch does seem thinner again, he is smoking a lot again, he is hyper on stage if he is ill at all has it got something do with drugs?? We all know he used to be keen on some stuff. In fact to me he looked, well,fatter in the past gigs I wonder if he was on medication then. Now, even though it was great gig, I wonder if he is on drugs?

I know it from fencing. A tournament over two days is a lot ... three days, well, the utmost. It generates the energy from your fat reserves, (thus you loose weight), releasing what is deposited within them ... leading to some funny effects depending on what you've consumed over the years ...
Hell, I hope they don't eat only junk ... and that in case he should indeed be sick or ill, he cares properly for his health and nutrition ...

I'd heartily renounce at seeing them play in Vienna, if it's that what it takes ... f**k the ticket and everything ...

Please take care of yourself, Von!
