chimacuito Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I thought he said he was touring South America and Asia this year maybe later this year and hes just taking some months off touring? Actually who knows what may happen when it comesto Mika Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IngievV Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 At he Roundhouse gig, he seemed a bit grumpy to me most of the way through, til near the end. Not the happy guy he usually is at his home gigs. Why was he grumpy to you? Do not forget he got a load of sh*t for cancelling the Glasgow gig. He was not as chatty as usual but can't recall him being grumpy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was not as chatty as usual but can't recall him being grumpy. When he was talking about picking up money, and commenting on the thing that got thrown on stage, normally he would say it was rubbish in a jokey way, but he sounded really grumpy when he said it that time, and he wasn't laughing or smiling either.

I didn't get that. I thought he was pretending to be serious. I think he thought he was funny... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I didn't think he was too chipper at all, til he got to the latter part of the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he ws serious about that. It's not how I experienced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I thought we already had a 50 page discussion about this gig and determined after watching the videos that he didn't give any indication of being in a bad mood. I understand wishful thinking but I am always amazed when people see bad things that aren't there. Especially this NRJ comment that, even in very dodgy English, gave no indication of anything other than the fact that he is going to be doing festivals and not a tour. As we already knew. Although I do want to say that this confirmation does not make me happy or relieved! We waited through years of drought for a new album and he's gone back into "off" mode in a matter of weeks. It sucks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks!! The only thing that got me 'worried' was the facebook message. Team Mika must have freaked out bigtime that they posted this the same day those rumours started. Then again, I don't check this stuff at work, so the first thing I saw of this rumour was that it wasn't true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks!! You're not the only one disappointed ... I'm not cheering at this announcement ... you know ... when someone releases a new album ... you think they're going to tour it ... you'll hear the new songs ... I haven't heard much at all ... I only saw two gigs ... probably 100 per cent sure I won't be seeing him this year .... I can't afford anything abroad ... I wish I could see him ... but I don't do festivals here let alone somewhere else ... whatever ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks!! Yes, I can't understand how anyone interprets "taking a break" or "taking a step back" as "I'm never going to perform again, my music career is over." We suspected that he wasn't going to do any more touring for this album, he hinted at it several times, so this isn't a surprise. It's just disappointing.

Christine Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I never thought he was going to quit, bt I did fear this. I do hope he knows what he is doing. Takng another 3 years to make an album with just some francophone region festivals, some private projects that are unrelated to his music and one or two tweets a month is not much different from my perspective. Obviously it's very different from his perspective but if you're sitting in Canada twiddling your thumbs year after year practically speaking it's the same thing. It would be great if he was actually working on releasing some new music but I'll believe that when I hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me "taking a step back" doesn't sound like working with a new album but more like making music for others, doing different smaller project etc. And that can mean he won't tour for several years?

Thing is, he can't do a proper big tour if there is no tour promoter backing him. I do hope he will go and write new music because boyfriend needs to step up his game.

It's just disappointing. Yes. That sums it up for me. It's quite simple in my opinion. From the album being released until almost the end of 2012 Mika was saying that he would be touring all over the place in 2013. Unfortunately for a variety of reasons, the album has not (as yet) sold well, or had mush exposure at all, so he has had to reassess his plans. And for us it is very very disappointing. And I totally agree that I can not understand for one second how that post today could have been so badly misinturpruted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
