I still don’t comprehend the ‘technical’ issues preventing the February events from going ahead. What is more disappointing is the lack of communication from the Management team or Michael himself. There are lots of fans who feel let down and financially out of pocket due to non refundable hotel and travel costs.

 Not the way to treat loyal fans.

sorry Gail, but that update about technical cancellation  sounds very ridiculous and fool. Still waiting for MB's apologies and I'd suggest to him to change his management and find small venue for the future events.

It’s ticket sales obviously, as technical issues delaying production does not void out two theatres...Also two new venues have been added, replacing Sunderland and Manchester!! Everything is starting to evolve around London....I’ve lost my hotel costs, even if I get refunded on two tickets...and actually the disappointment is horrendous so close to the beginning of first audience. Ticket sales must of been monitored by management, so cancellation comes way too late in my opinion...I’m guessing maybe it was being played out until close to the dates, Incase fans did a last minute rush to buy. This was not a concert so it seems, the majority of Michael’s fans still only want to pay to hear him sing his hits........I was going to make a donation to the MBC in honour of Michael’s birthday, but after losing £60 on a hotel due to this cancellation I simply cannot afford to do it now:(

Just as an update on the reason for technical cancellation I'm told that the show is an interactive multi-media experience so there were several technical issues with setting this up.

Sucesso sempre! Reverências ao ícone Michael Bolton. Obrigado por vir ao Brasil. Aguardando ansiosa!

I also called New Victoria Theatre in Woking today and they have not been told about the cancellation on Wednesday! They said they had received a few phone calls today from others asking the same question about MB's show but that's all they know!

So what would be ‘technical’ issues which would prevent Michael sitting in a theatre to talk about his life story? No band, no stage to build, no pyrotechnics, Kong Events have let us down.

Will we be getting a statement from Michael himself for all his disappointed UK fans who have bought tickets and paid for travel and hotel costs and especially for those of us who cannot attend the rescheduled dates?

Very disappointing on all accounts.
