I'm so sorry all of you had such an awful, painful experience at the Chicago show. I know the real fans would show up and support the band for a makeup show, but I'm not sure the place would be full of such supportive people. I would wonder about the reception also.

I'm sure Scott Stapp is mortified at his behavior. But he does need to face the music, so to speak. It would be good if he issued some sort of apology and perhaps schedule a show later when they have rested a bit. I think doing it too soon would only make matters worse. While I think he is dealing with some personal issues, some of the blame should be placed on the management of the label for such an aggressive touring schedule in the first place. I'm sure this contributed to other issues he has been trying to cope with. I'm definitely not excusing his method for coping with those issues, but he is human after all.
