Last week George Michael was been taken to a hospital in Vienna for a case of severe pneumonia, and while it’s been a week since his admission, he’s reportedly recovering well. There are reports he could have something more serious such as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome or possibly lose his voice, but with gossip, it’s best kept at a safe distance away until it’s certain.

With the rest of his tour cancelled to let him rest, including his return to the UK, it’s brought up the idea of having your favourite band or musician get sick. For those who may have tickets to George’s show, I’m thinking about you guys.

What goes on in your mind when hearing of news can be mixed possibly could resemble the Kübler-Ross model, also known as the Five Stages of Grief:

Denial – “No, that couldn’t be right. Typical internet troll. Suuuure, Justin Bieber and Jeff Goldbloom are ‘dead’. Pfft.”
Anger – “WHAT? It’s serious? That’s bullsh**! I bet he’s just wimping out and taking the money. How could he?”
Bargaining – “Maybe he’ll get better quicker than normal, and my ticket will still be valid. Heck, maybe he’ll be fine, and it’s just a test to see how good a fan I am!”
Depression – “I bought VIP tickets. I booked time off work. Everything’s over. I’m never going outside again.”
Acceptance – “Well, if he carks it, at least my ticket will be worth something on eBay.”

Sure, it really sucks to find out you won’t have that amazing concert you were looking forward to all this time. But reports are the concerts will be rescheduled.

U2‘s cancelled on people, and they’re still going. They’ve even got their own musical!….oh wait, maybe I shouldn’t bring that up.

Have you ever been cancelled on, and how’d you react? Don’t be shy, I’m still angry at U2 for cancelling, personally. But I’m a stubborn chump.

Get well soon, Georgios. Patience.
