Default Get well soon, Damien!

I'm very sorry for everyone that got disappointed, but thought it might be nice to express our support to the man himself. It probably feels awful when you have to cancel a show and know you're letting down fans that have been waiting a long time to see you.

Damien, I hope you feel better soon. Take all the rest you need.
And I hope we'll get to see you when you're all better.

Big hug x

Fair play for trying to play the show any way, he must hate to have to cancel and I'm sure he was really in pain if he left after six songs...
Get well Damien!

I really hope he's alright! The audio someone put up sounded like he said he couldn't feel/hear anything because of how dizzy he was. That's a really bad ear infection. Hopefully he can get some antibiotics and just rest with this extra time off. It's really nice to see the positive response from the fans at the Chicago show...I'm sure it was hard for him to leave so having his fans support is probably an awesome feeling.

Ear infections are a beast. It's so hard to function when everything in your head feels off calibration. I hope he feels better soon, for his own comfort first!

Wishing he gets better soon. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him to cancel these shows

after reading in here I thought, wow, people are really understanding but somebody pointed me to fb, and there people are really bitching about Damien and they´re not very understanding, everybody is like, oh I paid 5000 dollars for a tix and now there´s no show, or this other guy saying oh Damien is really the greatest bastard

ear infections are painful, especially when the pain starts in the middle of the night and you don´t have drops or antibiotics and you have to wait til morning to get to the doctor...but I´d say on my experience, the minute you start taking drops/antibiotics the pain goes away, 2/3 days on antibiotics and you should be fine

People were pretty rude in the theatre too. Lots of what the fücks. Couple people yelled at him to get back on stage and finish. To which I yelked at them that he's sick and doesn't owe you shït. A few girls were crying in the lobby. It was really weird.

I believe I read someone wrote after not performing for 8 years now he gets sick and decided to walk off stage... Others were saying he's rude for not continuing.. some people are beyond ignorant.

If your sick your sick. He's a human being not a singing-guitar playing robot made for our amusement. It would of been my first DR show tonight in Toronto. Yes it sucks but his health comes first. Everyone has been sick before, its not fun, you can't think straight.
These people need to give the guy a break and some chicken noodle. He'll return shortly.
