I was at the festival and the issue came more from the dust coming from several hot and dry days than from the wild fires (that were huge in the south west of France but not close to Paris).
I am usually not the last one to critique my country but the festival set-up was not unusual or not safe. Eddie vocal issues most likely come from a combination of factors but the festival is not the only cause. Plenty of other artists play during these two dates and I am not aware of similar issues for them.

I was there too. We noticed early on that Eddie wasn't hitting the higher notes and held back more as the night went on, not that it was hugely noticeable but in hindsight he was not 100%. It was a great show, we did both London ones the weekend before too and it was as enjoyable.

The festival was as hot as hell and very, very dusty. I would have thought this would have affected him as it affected us. I didn't know about forest fires until later this week, didn't notice any smoke in the air. 

I'm gutted for those that are missing out on gigs. Travelling to foreign lands is expensive these days, however the cities are incredible and have lots to do but you still aren't doing ultimately what you went there for. I hope that they make it to Amsterdam and finish the European Tour on a high.

Crazy....I will say that the Louisville festival might have a similar atmosphere. It is generally hot, dry and dusty as hell there.
