Wow, this is all a damned shame on the one hand, but sounds like it was handled with a fair amount of class on the other. Opeth, I really believe, gives a shit. So, cool that they tried to compensate in so many ways; a little music, a little money, a signing. Mikeal really is a class act.
As to the rest of the tour, we'll see.....can't decide if I'd rather they cancel or do something similar in SF as is posted here. In any event, perhaps Martin is headed over thisaway as we speak. I agree with all who say the most important thing is his recovery, and so would take a cancellation with respectful dissapointment. We'll see.....
Hope it all works out!
