    Thanks for posting.

    The part that got me was Birgitta being asked what her son would say about her contact with the band if he was watching from heaven:
    'He would be happy for our contact, and perhaps a little jealous! One day when I sat and talked with Stone, I said "Think if he sits and looks at us now?" It was a very intense moment'
    Take me for a ride before we leave...

    Reading about what happened at Travis Scott's Astroworld festival in Houston is bringing back the Roskilde vibes. So terrible for these people and their families. This story is bonkers and seems to be getting worse with new details dropping every few hours.

    The fact that it was streamed live on Apple Music too for all to see. Terrible.

    Agree.  Was at Sea Hear Now when he stopped during Wishlist.  I remember when it happened that even though the song was stopped it was nice that Ed stopped.  His concern was so genuine and you could hear it in his voice.  Last night in Houston is just tragic and  so sad for those families that lost loved ones who were out to just have a fun night.
