Brian Molko collapses on stage in Japan
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 12 August 2009
Only yesterday we were reporting on Jet’s Nic Cester collapsing on stage in London, now we get news that Brian Molko fainted on stage in Japan on Sunday. But while Cester turned out to have gastroenteritis, Molko has an unspecified virus, which, if I’m not mistaken, means we should now burn him as a witch.
In a statement issued on Monday, the band said: “It is always incredibly disappointing when a show cannot take place for any reason, particularly on this occasion due to Brian being unwell, as we have looked forward for such a long time to these shows in Japan.We have undertaken a gruelling and intensive schedule over the last few months and the last couple of weeks alone played five countries in nine days. Brian picked up a virus which coupled with jet lag and exhaustion caused his collapse on stage. Thanks to prompt and professional care Brian is recovering well”.
I don’t care how well he’s recovering, I still think we should burn him just to be on the safe side.
