I think I might faint. Joe replied to my (our) concerns. Thank you, Joe. I feel better about you now. Stay happy and healthy because we all love you. See you in Vegas April 19th and 20th.

Re: Worries about Joe

guys like Joe live on the road.......always have and always will.......everyone gets tired at their job on occasion and Im sure Joe is no different.

but as long as he stays healthy, eats decent and stays away from the addictions associated  with alcohol and drugs there is no reason he cant continue staying very busy for decades to come.

Joe's career is climbing with a bullet right now so he's working alot......he has found a successful business model that makes him money at a time when most artist really struggle to make much money in this industry.......so I am sure he along with his management feel the inevitable need to "strike while the iron is hot".

I am sure once he builds his career and fanbase to a certain point that you will see him slow down a bit or at least take an extended break.  but now is not the time.  he's one of the hottest acts going and if I were in his shoes I would be doing exactly what he's doing.

Re: Worries about Joe

I still tend to worry about Joe a year later. Such a breakneck schedule and getting sick in Europe. Like I said, I guess it's a mother complex for me, I can't explain why I worry about him. I worry about people I care about and Joe is at the top of that list. Please take care of your self, Joe. We all wish you unlimited wealth, fame, and especially happiness. Especially happiness! Just please take care of yourself. We all love you to pieces!

Re: Worries about Joe

He's an intelligent bloke. In the recent video series he mentioned about how crazy the 4 nights in London thing was, but he did it anyway.

Now he's touring with 2 band set-ups and the rest. Sometimes I think he does it just so he gives all those bloody guitars a work out from time to time!

He'll be the first to know. When it gets too ridiculous he'll know. Roy also won't let it happen. When Kevins 'ideas' look like pulling him over the edge, one of them will say stop.

Probably for Joe, albeit massive work and stress; the 4 nights deal was probably less aggro than recording another album this year so maybe that was a good trade off.

Everybody gets sick from time to time, whatever they do. He's a pro. If it has to be cancelled, then so be it.

I wouldn't worry. From what he says in his interviews it'll be Sandi he drives crazy first.............

Thank you for the reassurance. I know Joe is probably fine, I just hope so. I just want him to be happy but healthy.
