Re: Barneydome Feb 8 2020, Ziggo Dome Amsterdam
As for Barney, he spent his last year treating the tour with contempt to add to a few years before that doing exactly the same, so why should anyone on the tour miss a weekend to bother with his "look at me! Look at me" event that sold less than 20% of capacity?

Aye, and not everyone goes to them. For various reasons. I am hardly Taylor's biggest fan either but you cant slate someone for making that choice. My own mother had to be convinced to go to it on the end by her sisters (not Sid's funeral here, obvs)

I could be wrong but I thought Taylor was in Australia at the time of Sid’s funeral?
Re: Barneydome Feb 8 2020, Ziggo Dome Amsterdam
Well perhaps you are right.
I do think if you are in the public eye you have a responsibility to behave a certain way, even if it's not your natural choice. His absence was noticed at the time in the media for example, which detracted from the occasion a little.
If someone had spent their life and career in absolute devotion to you and that person played a role in you achieving your fame and fortune, with a chunk of their autobiography explaining their fanaticism to you, I think it's the decent thing to do (to attend).
Choosing to play an exbo instead perhaps negates your point a little. No crime has been committed, Taylor is free to make his own choices, but to me it lacked respect for someone who had given him so much.
