Murdoc

"Trying to co-ordinate a Gorillaz live show these days is like trying to make a Busby Berkeley movie. It’s intricate, the numbers are staggering and it requires everything to fall into place at the same time, every time. We don’t always get it first take.

On behalf of Gorillaz, (which is mainly me), I do apologise about not being able to send the troops out to the Scotland, Newcastle and Milan dates. Really. It’s a shame because I’ve got lots of kids in both those areas, 20 or 30 of which were on the list for each date. The fact is that we would have been dishing up half a show, a compromise which we just couldn’t do….

Also, right, excuse the delay in make a statement about this and the other rescheduled dates. I know some of you feel left out in the cold, but I’ve been stuck on the toilet since I got back from Syria and I’m not sure I’m back to normal even yet…

As I said, I can only apologise and say that Gorillaz, as a whole, promise to do what we can to make it up to all of you who were cut short here. We appreciate the loyalty and would never intentionally mess our fans around. That’s not what Gorillaz are about and never have been…

In the meantime, we are listening, and I look forward to seeing all you lovelies at the rescheduled dates in which, I can assure you, Gorillaz and our guests will serve you up something blinding, something that’ll keep you warm for a long time to come…

Lots of Love M.N. xxx"

SiberianMau Glad to see an apology, so proof that Gorillaz has listened to its fans. Thanks Murdoc, you came through for your European fans, and your hundreds of children in those places. For this, you get awesome points.
