That's the plan, but I have no idea yet where & when exactly. Right now I'm more worried about getting the yearbook in time before I'm leaving (there was a delay at the printer), or I might have to change my travel plans, to take it with me... which would cost a lot of money, so please fingers crossed that the estimated delivery on Wednesday will work out!

A Coruna was quite spontaneous, we didn't really have time for it. And we didn't know we would arrive so late. 

True, it was a bit of a mad dash! 

Fun though. 

It's another festival rip-off! 

Seriously though, has anyone messaged them or tried tagging them on social media to ask? They hate negative publicity, could get a result.

Yeah I can't be 100% sure the one I saw is for The Piano, it wasn't situated in the same place as what we saw in series 1 and it also looked smaller too.

Series 1 was St Pancras, wasn't it? So yes, different place. But I doubt they'd do it in the same place, they'll want to mix it up a bit.

I was there just over 2 weeks ago and saw a piano all set up! A few passers-by were using it, I didn't see a camera crew around though... unless they're hiding behind curtains! 😁

I noticed a piano when I was passing through KX in July. I knew it wasn't for the filming as he was in the middle of the festival gigs, but maybe they set one up early to get people used to the idea of it being there, without thinking 'hey, TV show!'.

There will be a Christmas special, meaning it will start soon - all through October and November? 

That's what I was thinking. 

ALERT UK FANS - keep your eyes peeled for signs of a tall man acting furtively. 👀 

Hmm, so, filming for The Piano S2... when do we think that will be?

And abs, you forgot the abs! 

I didn't get that far... my inner tiger took over...  

Curls. Eyelashes. Smile. Throat, sweaty neck, SWEATY NECK! Unf. 

Hey, so I've been reading some reviews of the venue on Tripadvisor, and there seems to be a general consensus that the sound system is not the best - lots of reverb etc. Also some reports of over zealous security. 

How does this fit with fan experiences?

You know that you now have to come to this concert. 

I'll do my best! 

We could make a paper concertina surprise for him in the front row. 

Hold an Easter egg, with C'est la vie written on decoratively.

The top 'cracks' off. 

Mika's head pops out with a cheeky grin. 

Flowers pop up from his head.

He pops further out of the egg.

His arms raise, one each side, each hand holding a banana. 

Dance! 

I remember seeing a clip from behind the scenes at The Voice in one of the early series. He showed his group of contestants how he used lemonade (I think it was lemonade) to make his shoes not slip. Basically he spilt some on the floor, trod his shoes into it, and let them air-dry. 

Maybe we need to send him a case of lemonade.

I wrote in the letter I gave Mika in Bristol that he should ask Louboutin to make shoes with a sole suitable for rain. I doubt he is going to listen to me. 😆

But... you're the whisperer! He has to. 

Walking home after work last night, a car passed me playing music, and it immediately made me think of Mika. I couldn't think why, because it wasn't a Mika song, and it didn't sound like a Mika song. So why did it make me think of Mika?

Then I realised. It was one of the songs he plays at the start of his gigs while we're all waiting for him. No wonder I suddenly felt excited!

Yes, he definitely doesn't need our help to slip, he manages alone to do that. I was afraid for him a few times this summer. 

 

He should definitely use shoes with better soles when it rains. 

Petition to Louboutin for nonslip soles? 

Throwing things on stage is a bit of a hot topic, there's a backlash against it as a few artists were hurt at the summer festivals.   

The odd plush toy thrown gently is one thing, but a rain of eggs could be a problem. It reminds me a bit of the cushions in Morocco, when he had to leave the stage.

Throwing plush eggs on Mika sounds fun to me. 

I don't think Mika wants a bunch of women throwing their eggs at him.

Mika is in a chic hotel room

Ohhh, yes! I saw the stone wall and thought he was showing us a different part of his house in Tuscany. Oops... 🙈 think I need to go on a detective refresher training course! 

Ohh, la mort, not l'amour! 

What's he saying in his story? The bit in the middle was too fast for me.  I think he says to follow his Spotify account tomorrow for exclusive access to new tour tickets, for 48 hours? 

It's academic as I don't have Spotify. 😂

Hi @Franzi and welcome!  Have fun here, there's a lot to see! 

Are the seats angled towards the stage? Or is everyone twisting their necks?

Why does the US have this odd date format?  Is there any other country that uses it?

Apparently, it's our fault.. We used to use it, American colonialists liked and kept it while the UK moved to the European format.
