    He was smoking backstage in LA. Jeff Ross was posing with Ed and he had a lit cig in his hand.  He's been smoking for at least thirty years. Unfortunate, but he knows what the negative consequences are to his body and voice.

    As someone who flew his family across the country to Indy last year, all I hope is that for those of you holding tickets, the band makes the call either the night before, or first thing the morning of the show.  This just looks like a cold to me so far, so I expect him to be better after 3 days.  But if it’s not, I hope they don’t wait until 3pm to announce it for everyone’s sake.

    Ed sounded amazing in Vancouver 1, so similar to the original takes quite often, Im impressed. His revenge bod is hotttt. I don't know how he's running marathons as a smoker, thats frickin amazing! 

    I'm kinda sad he missed his opportunity to drink like mad in Ireland! 



    I'm pretty sure the marathon comment in Vancouver was a joke.

    At the end of the show he added: "A couple of us are running the marathon tomorrow. Maybe we'll see you out there."

    When I compare his physique to 2019 and Ohana 21, he's more slender, less tire tube middle heart attack fat. Imo

    Running mighta done that. They wanna stay healthy for the kids I think i heard em say.

    I thought he quit. I haven’t seen him smoke on stage in so long. How do you all know?
    It came up in the Stern interview in late 2020 and in one of the interviews from this year.
    The sheepish smirk on Ed's face when Howard asks him about it in this year's full band interview, speaks volumes imho.

    I assumed he was talking about Matt and maybe one of the crew. Eddie is definitely not running marathons, LOL.

    So did I until I got that sound bite from the guadalajarians. If I had heard him speaking to me clearly that night I might have bought some running gear the next morning!

    Honestly I felt proud of him, not like he was joking

    Matt is an avid runner, from what I've heard. As for Ed, I can't imagine smoking and marathon training -- and touring -- going well together. I'd also have expected him to be moving rather stiffly at night two (and for Jill to have posted something on Instagram).
    All those who seek to destroy the liberties of a democratic nation ought to know that war is the surest and shortest means to accomplish it.

    Will it be a theatre like 2022?
    I don't think the fans are being told what's going on. In 2022 you had to wait until just before the concert for the cancellation.
    Why is there no statement from the manager? Just give an info, what is the matter...

    It's being sick, you're probably hoping he's feeling better day of the show. Until then you probably don't know if you are or aren't going to cancel/postpone :(

    I know they're probably just hoping for the best.
    But it would be better and more transparent for everyone to communicate with the fans.
    1, 2 sentences, which is a thing NOW would be enough.

    Ed's a heavy smoker and he's addressed it in interviews before, particularly about how his kids want him to quit. Apologies I don't have the source. It's a shame that he persists, not only from a health perspective but also quality. Cornell's voice improved dramatically when he quit. Listen to the Audioslave debut and compare that to Higher Truth. Incredible difference. 

    That said, when Dylan briefly quit, his fans were up in arms as his voice changed so much.

    As a positive guy I'm confident we get the show on Saturday. 

    Keep those glasses half full.

    I can't see how he will be worse on Saturday than he was in Manchester.
    Thats a good thing

    Agree. It doesn't seem like the throat issues from last time think he will be better by Saturday

    I just did some google searching. Don’t recall anything about it in the Zane and Bill interviews. Yeah there’s pictures from 2018 of him with a cig. I’m pretty mind-blown, sorry guys. I thought this whole time he kicked it. Don’t recall seeing him smoking on stage or side stage since the long hair Backspacer days.
    I quit cigarettes in 2019 and switched to a vape. I quit the vape about 2 months ago, and it’s been very difficult. 
    It’s in the Bill interview. He’s still smoking

    The show isn’t for a couple days, you want them to give you hourly updates about a cold?
