P.S.
As Usual
Be safe, if you must go out wear an n95 mask, otherwise stay home brothers and sisters.
I prefer to stay at home and jam from my bedroom for ya hoping you will share what you love, what interests you, and always try to work out problems and even your feelings remotely and creatively online!

Its Always a Thrill getting to play music for ya safely online here at Data Report Info!

By the way I'm not the only one not playing in public...

"As of early 2026, the lingering effects of the pandemic—compounded by soaring travel costs, health concerns, and logistical hurdles—continue to affect touring schedules, with several artists canceling or pausing live performances.

Here are the key artists and trends regarding 2026 tour cancellations influenced by the ongoing challenges of the post-COVID live music industry:

    Neil Young: Canceled planned 2026 tour dates with Chrome Hearts in the U.K. and Europe, with a message on his website indicating that "this is not the time".
    The Rolling Stones: Reportedly canceled plans for a 2026 U.K. and European stadium tour, as Keith Richards decided not to commit to the physical strain of a major run.
    Glenn Hughes: Canceled his Spring 2026 U.S. tour due to a health issue requiring care, following years of relentless touring.
    Twisted Sister: A planned 2026 reunion tour was canceled.
    Dry Cleaning: Postponed their January/February 2026 U.S. tour to May, citing "increasingly hostile economic forces" that have made touring difficult for mid-sized acts.
    Town Mountain: Announced they will be stepping away from touring following their fall 2026 run.
    Matthew Sweet: Canceled all tour dates in late 2025/early 2026 to focus on health recovery.
    Arlo Guthrie: Reports suggest he may be done with touring to focus on health.
    The Who: Roger Daltrey has expressed doubts that the band will ever tour the U.S. again due to high costs and insurance issues, which have become more difficult since the pandemic.
    Roy Wood: Stopped touring with his band following the pandemic.

Context for 2026 Tour Cancellations
The touring industry in 2026 is facing a "paradox" where, despite a boom in stadium acts, many others are struggling due to:

    Rising Costs: High gas prices, airfare (up 42%), and hotel costs.
    Labor/Supply Shortages: A shortage of experienced crew members and rising wages.
    Visa Issues: International artists are avoiding U.S. tours due to high costs and complex visa processes.
    COVID Concerns: Ongoing health risks, with some artists still cancelling to prevent the spread, as reported in late 2025."
