You mentioned Reading....doesn't look good now I reckon. That "Special Guest TBA" appears to be Papa Roach. They are now listed on the website where the TBA was previously. Thats that then. Would have been pretty cool to see Numan & Manson on the same stage on the same day..... might have even been treated to another duet. Oh well.

Here's a bit of information for everyone that may be insightful: I set up an interview through Spitfire with Gary for the day of the Fillmore show. I was hoping to scoop the radio station that was co-presenting the show "Star 101.3 - 80's and more..." The interview went very well....and it turns out that Spitfire didn't even book Gary an interview on the other station! Pretty lazy if you ask me. When I arrived at the venue and tried to pick up my tickets (I was supposed to be on the Spitfire list) I was told that they cancelled their ticket buy at the last minute! I had no problem paying to get in....but there were many people who were left without tickets by Spitfire's last minute cancellation. Pretty shoddy treatment of Gary's fans and supporters....my only consolation was that I found Gemma once inside and relayed to her what the label had done. So I don't hold out too much hope for a second tour.
