aberdeen gig
Further to previously reported, yes it's true, Frank wasn't there.
Soon after they came on stage, I (we? everyone?) spotted Matt on stage, and of course, resulted in much pointing and pondering.
A couple of songs in, Gerard announced that Frank's had to leave the tour for the time being and fly straight home because of "personal reasons/issues". He said that they were all thinking of him, and were missing him already. He said Frank would be back, not to worry.
I hope things are alright for him at home. I hope nothing is seriously wrong, like a family member taking ill or something.
I know this is disappointing for some people, but try and put yourself in someone else's shoes - like Frank's. Try and imagine how you would feel if you had to cut short something you were enjoying because someone at home had fallen seriously ill, or had been in an accident (assuming this is along the lines of what's happened).
I know that I would be in a fair panic, for starters. And I can imagine that Frank will worry about letting the fans down - even though, in this kind of situation, I'd say he's perfectly entitled to be 'selfish' and think of himself, for once.
Anyway, aside from all that, the show was bloody fantastic, but I'll squee another time (probably on my own journal) ;)
