Lead Singer Should Be Worried

[Pop Bitch] Which UK indie band has some gigs abroad next week, but also has a currently unvaccinated lead singer?

Without proof of a jab, he can’t get into the venues they’re booked for so his band mates are currently training up a stand-in so they don’t miss their payday.

Reports from rehearsals suggest the stand-in has turned out to be a much better singer than their actual front man.

Thus, there may be some awkward conversations to be had about the band’s future when they return…

    I understand not wanting to get jabbed. I got the shots, but hated the long term effects on my body.

    The best concert ever – TOM PETTY on his Into The Great Wide Open Tour (1991?) in his hometown of Gainesville, FL. He played an extra 45 min set just because he wanted.

    No idea. Best big name I ever saw live?
    Easy. Tom petty and the Heartbreakers. 2nd row, center section. He was no more than 15-20 away and they sounded almost exactly like they do in the studio which is a big reason I don’t often go to concerts as so many sound rather crappy in person and often mistake the act of playing faster as rocking harder.

    Why this fool didn’t just get a fake vaccine card is beyond me. I’ve got two shots and a booster and that’s my limit. First HRH Fauci told the public that the vaccine would prevent anyone from contracting COVID, then someone vaccinated got it, so he moved the goalposts. There were plexiglass dividers that were bought by every business to stop the spread, paper masks… NEVER a mention of natural immunity…
    God the American public (mostly) really fell for the media hype hook, line and…

    No clue on the lead. I had my jabs, still got the virus, so I won’t judge.

    Best concert ever: Hands down: Chicago – sounded just like their albums. Although, Joe Bonamasa and Rod Stewart were both great too.

    It’s unbelievable to me how many people here blithely call for this person to fake a vax … how can we be this far into a pandemic and people still fail to comprehend you get vaccinated to protect not just yourself, but everyone else – especially older and immune compromised people, and to avoid swamping the healthcare system? The law doesn’t put individual rights above everything else – but you have to actually read the law to understand that, I guess.

    Only a fool isn’t vaccinated. No consideration for others. No idea who this person is.

    Best concert ever… Fleetwood Mac about 12 years ago. Amazing how they still were selling out arenas. Also on my list of faves were Paul Simon, Dave Matthews, Moody Blues and Rascal Flatts. My taste is eclectic. I also want to point out that I saw an iHeart Radio concert where Adam Lambert was the headliner and he was mediocre at best. Everything was inauthentic. Andy Grammer preceded him & blew everyone…

      LOL! so what you’re saying is the poke only works if EVERYONE gets it? If YOU got it, enjoy it. Have faith in your decision. The rest of us will have faith in our strong immune systems. My body, my choice. It applies to more than just abortion.

    • pigasauras says

      I’m saying this while I am vaxed.

      But why again is it selfish for someone to not be vaxed? It’s selfish to keep trying to get people to do like you do. The vaxed get and spread Covid—I know, I was one of them. I had to also have a pre-mature hysterectomy due to weird bleeding. The vaccine affects many women’s female organs. It’s selfish to make someone undergo high risk with a ‘vaccine’ that’s not even a vaccine, since it does absolutely nothing.

    I don’t know who this is. NO ONE should be FORCED to inject ANYTHING into their bodies. My body, my choice, right? If the band really cared about their singer, they would not book shows in venues requiring proof. Avoiding venues that require proof is a nonviolent way of pushing back. We HAVE to push back on this any way possible. Getting a fake jab pass is complying. Don’t do it & don’t take the poison poke.

    • aemish says

      Seriously, and it’s extra grotesque when countries like Australia banned that tennis player from coming despite him and his wife already had it and recovered from it. What science is that??

    • flower says

      These venues are abroad, according to the blind. The countries probably require entrants to be vaccinated, so the band would need to avoid any country that has that entrance requirement.

    I could Google this & offer a guess and pretend I have an idea . I won’t’. Okay I am a Senior Citizen Boomer . I have seen 1000s of excellent concerts over the years but here are the top 3 : Number 1 , Jethro Tull ; Number 2 , Bruce Springsteen ; Number 3 , Vince Vance and the Valiants .

  11. ginafair says

    Without proof of a jab? Seriously – why doesn’t he/she get a fake vaccine card?

    • Amityvillain says

      Funny you should say that, my best live concert was the Billy Joel and Elton John Face to Face tour in 1995. It was amazing.

  13. aaamrex says

    I don’t know who our singer is, but I can tell you that out of all the bands I’ve seen live, Def Leppard consistently put on an absolutely fantastic show.

  14. spookie says

    I can’t imagine fans being happy to see a band with a stand-in lead singer… not sure who this could be but Mumford & Sons came to mind.

    Optional: I’ve seen a lot of great shows, but the best voices have been Rufus Wainwright and John Grant.

  15. Snufkin_the_Mumrik says

    Roxy Music is touring for the first time in forever.

    Best band I saw? Tie between Rush and Queen with Adam Lambert. Unfortunately never saw Freddie.

    • hwkgirl1 says

      Is this The Stone Roses?

      Yea, Rush for their 40th anniv. /final tour still beats the pants off most artists today. AL+Queen was good as well!

      Foo Fighters are the best I have seen otherwise, but I also haven’t been to the classic top groups. They put on a great show.

  16. phins2left says

    I’m guessing Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs. But what do I know? I’ve stupidly been jabbed three times and going back for a fourth.

  18. noshshe says

    Two Door Cinema Club maybe?

    They had 3 concerts in Brazil this week and like 2 days before the festival they announced that Alex (lead singer) had some non specified health issues so he wouldn’t come with the band. They picked a substitute to come along and apparently he’s good

    • northernlight says

      Wow, you are dialed in! I have never heard of this band. Who should I be listening to now?
