Apparently the cases in the UK went up by 62 in the last 24 hours so I don't really see those concerts happening either.

I guess I feel if she cancels the whole tour it would be more likely that they would reschedule the tour like they are doing with the Asian dates. Right now they are just canceling concerts outright and it's not really fair for the fans. I know it's not her fault at all but it would be better for everyone if they postponed and tried to reschedule.

Honestly, this is just dumb. What is her team doing? Do they not read the news and see cases are going up daily and other countries might ban large gatherings as cases increase? Why bother going. Just postpone the damn tour. Do they not have insurance for stuff like this happening?

Honestly, this whole thing is a mess. They should just reschedule the concerts like they are doing with Asia. It seems like some concerts are about to be canceled like Switzerland, some people cannot travel anymore due to restrictions and having to do a quarantine if they do, and some people are too scared to go. It would be better for everyone if she just postponed. By the time she could reschedule the virus will have petered out or be under control and understood more.

At this point containing the disease is not an option. The only thing people can do is try to prevent it from spreading to so many people at once that it overwhelms the local hospitals. They may have to cancel or reschedule the concerts for that reason. From what I hear disease experts expect it to become a pandemic around the world but that doesn't mean that people are going to be locked away in their homes. It will mostly mean people are prevented from going to large gatherings such as concerts. A lot of people are going to get the coronavirus and most probably won't know they've had it because it feels so close to the flu or a cold.
From what I remember most of the people in England who were confirmed to have had the coronavirus got it from one guy. If one infected person flew into the UK to see her concert then they could potentially infect dozens of people who would go out into the population and infect more people. It will probably be up to the governments of the countries she's going to, to decide if they want to cancel all large gatherings.

It's obvious she was not prepared to play Warrior and as it was a last minute request I'm not too bothered she forgot lyrics. Once she got the first line she was pretty much fine until the bridge. I would think that this indicates she probably won't be playing it on tour, I'll honestly be shocked if she does considering how much time she's spent in rehearsal lately. I've always thought Avril writes and records her songs and then doesn't listen to them again, which is why she forgets lyrics so much. She focuses on the singles and that's pretty much it. I think she genuinely believes that's what people want to hear from her. If she was super lazy she would have just never made a record again after getting sick. I think she's happy with her abilities and thus doesn't try to improve her musical skills. It can be annoying as a fan to watch at times because she should have grown as a guitar and piano player but she hasn't.

She has said in interviews that her illness made her feel like she was a bird trapped in a cage. She took that idea and wrote Birdie. I don't think it is inspired by any particular relationship she's had.

I remember reading somewhere Mark the bassist got tired of playing with her and he talked about how horrible her voice was and generally talked crap about her.

It doesn't need a storyline but I feel like there is a bit of one there and if there had been a few changes in editing it might have made more sense. It's still a beautiful video and one of my favourites from her. I'm happy that BMG have given her the freedom to do what she wants. It looks like she may have scrapped the DB video in order to have more money to make this one happen. This song obviously means a lot to her, so props to her for forgoing a potential hit to release something she truly loves. I hope this gets her some attention. If Billie Eilish can make hits with strange music why couldn't this do well? The title will certainly get people's attention.

I like the imagery of the video I just wish it had more of a storyline. It appears there may be a storyline there but it's confused and jumbled up.

Got so excited when I saw this. But now I realise she isn't coming to the UK I'm crushed. I understand the reasons why she can't come and I fully support her decision to keep the tour small and manageable. I just feel so sad at the thought I might never see her again. These might not be all of the dates though. She could potentially do a tour in Europe later in the year or next year and I would be very surprised if she didn't do shows in Japan, China, and Brazil.

The only thing we can really get mad at Avril about is her lack of communication. The lack of promo is not entirely down to her. She can want to do interviews and performances till she's blue in the face but if no one wants her on their shows because she's not big any more she'll get no promo. Right now I'm betting there is a problem with the budget. They had such great ideas for the DB video according to rumours, then she got no money for it and it was awful and canned; which was a waste of more of her budget. Also she obviously made the change from DB to IFILWTD for James Cordon because the DB video did not pan out. She was promoting DB consistently until she switched. They may have had a plan for Devil to come out later in the year and DB to be the Summer single. They made no plan for what to do if the music video fell through. They made no plan to use another song promote HAW when they added Nicki at the last minute to DB and then wanted to wait for a video hoping she would do a cameo. Her team is absolutely abysmal. I honestly don't know why Avril pays them for anything because they don't do a damn thing for her other than make her look worse than she actually is.
Avril said this time around would be more slow than previous eras as she gets back into performing...well it has lived up to that, but there are plenty of things she could have been doing if she wanted to. At this point I think she enjoys making and releasing music but doesn't care for anything else. I don't think she doesn't care for her fans but I believe she is clueless about how to interact with us better. She's not a natural communicator and neither am I so I let it slide for the most part. Although I can admit this past few weeks has been extremely boring as a fan.
