The European Tour Thread

[liz]

I really hope it`s true, and that he`s better... though I can`t help thinking even if he IS better, if things go on as they are, it`s only gonna be a matter of time before he`s ill again.
They`re running them into the ground. And I agree Becky, it`s crazy to go back to the US so quick. Especially now. And that`s NOT anything to do with the whole us and America thing. I`d be saying the same if they were due HERE! Even if Bill can make the rest of the tour - HE NEEDS SOME REST.

[B.eckii ♥]

Ditto, I'd rather he had a rest than perform because I'd hate for him to put a strain on his wonderful voice.
I wouldn't be able to enjoy a concert knowing his voice and throat were giving him troubles.

[Amiee♥TH]

i agree.....the band don't get time to rest...and america can wait!! They have just had their fair share of the band, they can wait for Bill to get better.....;D

Okay guys, this is really upsetting to watch, but there are some videos from Marasilles where Bill's voice was failing. I was pretty much in tears watching this one - Bill trying to sing In Die Nacht:

Then there's Reden.

And then An Deiner Seite, where the fans sing to Bill:

I hope he gets better soon. Poor Bill looks like he's trying not to cry in that first video of In Die Nacht.

omg...
he needs to stop.... just STOP
he just cant go on like this... straining his voice all the time

[midori]

This is really difficult to watch/listen. Maybe they should get Gustav to support and back him up a bit for the rest of the tour... like they did during concerts when Bill's voice was breaking back in 2005.

omg that actually made me cry
hes trying so hard
poor thing
>_<
now my eyeliner is smudged
it sounds like its one of them dry throats that really hurt aswell
poor babe needs to get in his Pj's snuggle up in bed, watch Laguna Beach re-runs with a packet of strepsils and some soup while i nurse him.
yes, thats what he needs.

[-kels-]

yeah good idea midori
and I agree, I just wanted to [especially in die nacht] just stop the vid and not watch the rest.

[Skye.]

Can someone translate what the french lady says
i dont understand french
>_<

[tokiohoteluk]

She just explains that Bill's voice is not well and that he can't sing anymore. Apparently she refers to him as a SHE like twice. She obviously thinks he's a girl. :/

silly woman - i mean come off it. Bill more than the others are plastered over most french mags - I know cos when I went to a local off licence from where i was there and all i could see was bill over all the music mags ect. and most french teens love them plus they are like all over the media and she mistakes him for a she! pfft!

/Rant!

p.s. I feel so lucky right now that I dont have make up on....

[Amiee♥TH]

oh my god!! they really should probably put the tour on hold! Bill cant carry on this way....i know how hard it is to strain you voice *i'm stupid and try singing when im really ill lol*
aww, ive gone all shakey from watching them videos!!

[Kiah[TH<3]]

;_;

ouch.
Mega ouch.

Poor baby.

[midori]

First he introduced her and said she would translate the German into French, then he said: "I have to say that I'm really very, very sorry that unfortunately, tonight my voice has failed. I'm very, very sorry. I hope you had a nice evening nonetheless and all of us will definitely see each other again."

Gosh, I don't like it when I can't hear what they are saying because of all the screaming! I'm partly deaf now.

omg, it really sounds like she referred to Bill as "she" several times.

[Jessikat]

OMG !
Poor Bill !
I just had to stop those video's, especially In Die Nacht.
Bill really did look like he was about to cry, poor baby.
They need to cut him some slack, seriously.
They should try singing near enough every night, as well as Bill does, for a month and however long the tour is ! See if they could do it.
