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) ;)

Oh my god, you're like. A voice from heaven or something. REASON. DETAILS. THANK YOU.

That little detail about Frankie definitely coming back eventually would have saved me a lot of angst over the past few minutes. I'm going to the O2 show, and my seats are right by Frankie's side, and I just. I want him there :(

But I also really really hope that whatever the problem is, it will be resolved and everyone will be okay. My thoughts are with Frankie.

*hugs* Thank you, so much.

Hmmm, I'm not sure if he'll be back that soon though, :(

depends how serious the issue at home are. If it's been a minor panic, he might be back soon. If it's something pretty bad, it could be a while.

*hugs back*

I hope you get him <3

Gerard did say he'd be back soon though, and you have a while yet so hopefully it'll be resolved in time. Frank himself was fine at the show last night so...if its a family issue at least it isn't him getting really sick and unable to play again.

Glad you had good time even though I imagine it being quite weird with only 3 fifths of MCR there. Did they cut the set short?

Hopefully it isn't all that bad if Gerard can say he'll be back sometime in the future.

I'd say the set was about a 'normal' length - 1 1/2 hours? I don't have much to go by, because tonight was my first MCR gig (apart from their set i say at T in the Park this July). :)

I'm hoping it isn't too serious either, but the fact that sometime between Newcastle and Aberdeen he's had to suddenly fly home doesn't sound too good.

Well I'm glad Gerard at least said Frank would be back. That way if he isn't we can blame him!

Lol I'm just kidding. But I'm glad at least they are talking to the fans instead of being like LOL BOB ISN'T GONE.. HE'S JUST....... LOOK A BIRD! and waiting a week to explain why Maine was canceled and Friday's gig wasn't.

I get the impression it's an ill family member or something along those lines. I don't think he would leave unless it was something serious, so I really wish people wouldn't get selfish about this :/ We don't know what is going on but it could be really bad & people are bitching about upcoming shows they are going to. It's all about priorities.

Exactly...my sister and I were discussing it after the show and we thought, what if his grandfather's been ill a while but all of a sudden taken a turn for the worse? He'd fly straight home for him. Or, if something's happened to Jamia...there are a lot of scenarios, and us fretting won't do any good, alas, all we can hope is that it isn't too serious, and that we get our Frankie back soon.

Your post has given me back some faith in this "fandom" tonight!

The impression I get from what Gerard said, is that it is something really important! I hope for Frank's sake that everything is all right.

And that the fans who aren't bitching about this are thinking of him and his family!

I hope everything is ok and its not anything really serious. I'll be thinking good thoughts. I do understand having to leave, an emergency is an emergency. I know all too well, I had to cancel a vacation a couple of weeks ago because my dad had a stroke and passed away.

They've always had a lot of injuries, though. One of Ray's (unofficial) bios says his nose has been broken three times.
