I know that so many of you have been lined up outside Radio City Music Hall since early morning, that others of you took time off from work and school, that many more of you have traveled far distances and that all of us were excited to be together.”
Abrams, who kicked off her three-night stint at Radio Music Hall on Oct. 4 and had performed at the venue just one night prior to the cancellation, did not offer further details on her condition, though she previously opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about the vocal strain she can experience while on tour.

Rock star in remission from aggressive cancer thanks to NHS trial
September 30, 2024
Mike Peters [65], frontman of Welsh band The Alarm, is in remission from aggressive cancer thanks to an NHS drug trial. The rock star, who was forced to cancel a US tour earlier this year after being diagnosed with fast-growing lymphoma, has been given the all-clear following experimental therapy at the Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester. Peters, who has supported U2 and Status Quo on tour, was first diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) more than 29 years ago aged 36. He has since undergone numerous drug treatments and rounds of chemotherapy, and had thought his cancer was being held in check. However, in April this year, five days before he was due to fly to Chicago for a 50-date US tour, he noticed that a lump in his neck had appeared overnight. Doctors quickly realised the rock star may have developed Richter’s syndrome, where CLL changes into a much more aggressive lymphoma.

September 23, 2024
Traffic co-founder and Rock Hall of Fame member Dave Mason has canceled his fall “Traffic Jam 2024” West Coast tour after doctors detected a serious heart condition requires immediate medical attention, according to an announcement. His team of doctors expect a full and successful recovery and Mason plans to resume his touring plans in 2025. Mason, 78, said, “I’m heartbroken to have to cancel these dates, but it’s Doctor’s orders. I’ll be back, and better than ever, in 2025.”
The Perry Farrell angry outburst seems to be common to those who either took the CV-19 shot, booster, and/or have been affected by shedding. Think it has to do with less oxygen available to the brain and body. Have witnessed this personality change in some friends which has been super awful, and my girlfriend who is a grocery cashier, has had customers flip out, and then report her to the Manager!
So many entertainers and medical people in these compilations from MCM, two groups heavily invested in the vaxx propaganda/shaming/coercion campaign.
