So what does it mean when a band stops a major tour?  It means MAJOR problems.  You have to remember that these guys probably run a crew of a hundred and all of those people are going to want to be sent home.  Some positions will have to be rehired after some workers jump on other tours.  Tickets have to be reprinted. Interviews rescheduled and on an on.

So what causes a tour breakdown like this?  It's usually NOT friction in the band; if that was the problem, they'd start cancelling dates. What it probably means is one of the band members probably needs so physical or chemical rehab, or just plain rest.  These aren't young pups anymore, this tour could seriously be whoopin' thier asses.  Anyways here's the good and bad dates:
