Almost my thoughts! Just that I don't agree on the looking-forward-to-it-part.
And I'd like to add that I totally understand everyone who is sad about not seeing the band members on Mika's stage in the future. I'm sad about that as well, I thought the 2010-band was simply perfect. But I don't think it's the right thing to attack Mika for that now. We all don't know what happened and how they decided to part ways.
I do agree on those saying there's a communication problem going on, though. I don't know if there's any expert around him for public relation stuff. If yes his or her work isn't the best apparently and if not Mika should really think of hire someone. However, announcing the new record will be out 'very soon', 'before the summer' and then postponing it to autumn isn't the best way to make your fans happy.
The band-news wasn't suppossed to be public as far as I understood it correctly so we can blame him for that one, though.
