	Randy	More details please. Who was ill? What was the illness? We travelled over 125 miles, with much dicomfort, to be met by a curt notice and many distressed people. As one of my friend's commented "What a bunch of lily livered American tossers".   Posted by Randy on Sunday, October 07, 2007 - 10:35 AM [Reply to this]

	WAR MACHINE	Will the limited edition tickets and posters still be sent out? If not, that sucks. This news has ruined my girlfriends day. Mine too as I was coming from England to see a set of 2 shows. Get well soon. PS: How do you get a refund if the tickets haven't arrived yet? Also who was the pre-order with as my girlfriend has forgot? Ducat King? Ticketmaster?   Posted by WAR MACHINE on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 10:01 PM [Reply to this]

	WAR MACHINE	Ignore the above comment. I just read that they cancelled the Long and Short of it tour too and came here to ask my questions only to realise this blog post was posted a while ago.   Posted by WAR MACHINE on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 10:08 PM [Reply to this]

	Erin Grá Mo Chrói	Wow. It's hard not to feel concerned for a person in a band which has been your inspiration and muse for four years.... All I can say is do get well soon---your fans love you, no matter who you are, and our thoughts and prayers are with you and the band. And welcome home! (Our food is better anyway.)   Posted by Erin Grá Mo Chrói on Thursday, November 01, 2007 - 11:06 PM [Reply to this]

	Louis the Second Louis Lucero	Hi Decemberists, I'm so sorry to hear one of your number has fallen ill. Nothing would please me more, however, than to hear of a speedy recovery, be it by e-missive, MySpace bulletin, or happy herald. Gifted musicians that you all are, you can trust that there will be no dearth of tour opportunities in coming months. I fancy myself one of your most devout fans, and if I may speak on behalf of Decemberists zealots worldwide: Don't worry about missing any shows. We expect nothing more of the unwell party than resting and drinking plenty of fluids; the remainder of you gifted minstrels would do well to step up and be the Florence Nightingales I know you can be. :) My thoughts and prayers are with you all, Louis II   Posted by Louis the Second on Saturday, November 03, 2007 - 1:06 AM [Reply to this]

	J M	Best Wishes to all of you, and may this be a temporary hitch in your global domination scheme. Dying of untreated/unmanaged illness would disappoint your fans far more than a few canceled shows. Get better. Be healthy. Love forever.   Posted by J M on Monday, December 10, 2007 - 9:18 PM [Reply to this]
