Just arrived at the Halle here in Lyon.....The crew (and some of the band entourage) had a very rough ride of it last night. As of this morning, eight crew members had come down with quite a painful gastric bug. During the show last night in Bordeaux, Tim Myer (Richard's tech) was virtually incapable of doing anything except vomiting, as was David Wright, the production manager, Adam (chef) and a few others have subsequently gone down. Tim and Steve were throwing up on the plane, so they were confined to the back and as soon as we arrived back in Barcelona, Richard had to throw up outsided the lifts. He didn't even make it up to his room! The good news is it only lasts 10 hours or so and no-one else has got it so far today. Fingers crossed..

Looking forward to tonight's show as William Topley is joining us as a support act.
