    Roland looked so happy last night when he was wheeled onto the stage before Porch, would have been an ultra unforgettable experience for him. Was surprised they didn’t play RVM for him though.

    Wasn’t able to talk with Roland in person after the show, but @pdalowsky is absolutely right. Being on stage was such a great moment for him and his family and this created memories that they will never forget. It didn’t really matter what song they played with him on stage. 

    Thanks to everyone who supported this and helped to make the band aware of Roland’s story. Moments like this make this band and its fanbase so special.

    For everyone who wants to practice German (or knows how to use google translate), there is an article from taz about Roland’s evening.

    Great for Roland! I'm sure this will be something he will always remember.

    As for RVM, I wonder if Ed thinks this song is too much of a of struggle with his voice. He hasn't been able to sing, "Once you... Were in my.... Rearview mirror!" For about the last five years. 

    With that said, I love the song and hope it returns.

    Thats the thing im rooting for the most, RVM being swapped out with Porch again......the intensity of RVM is always a massive highlight of any show
