Pics During My Concerts
It was just brought to my attention that some of my fans in attendance at the Dublin show were told that, at my request, they could not take photos or video during my performance on Thursday. This news was extremely upsetting to me and I want to clarify that I always allow pics by the fans and there will never be a time when I restrict them as I know how much it adds to the experience of enjoying the evening. There are performances where venue management will ask audience members not to take pics,but if anyone at those venues ever represents that I personally (or anyone on my behalf) has not allowed the photography that is a blatant untruth. Even in venues where I know this is the policy, when I see a fan taking a shot using their phone or a camera I will smile and pose, as again, I think it adds to their enjoyment of the experience.
The Dublin show was one of my favorites of the last 90 I've done. I loved the theater and the audience,which was fantastic and sang to me all night. My position has and will always be that the fans have paid and waited to come see me and if they want to take pics with cameras or their phones that's absolutely fine with me. I encourage them to do so and post their faves, here or anywhere else that they like. This has always been the case and will not change!!

And I probably missed the best pic opportunity as I was too busy singing and pointing my finger in the air singing how can we be lovers at the top of my voice !!!

You go guy! Yep, that is what they told me in Thackerville, OK. They told me NO pictures are to be taken when I was taking one of you. I only have 1 pic of you from that concert ;"{ I mean really, what is it to them anyways!! Now I wished I would have taken more, but I wouldn't want to get kicked out of there and miss you! I would have thought it was your wishes and then didn't think any more of it. That is really nice of you Michael! Your are the best!! :"}

Thanks for your personal statement on this. You've probably been misrepresented hundreds of times in hundreds of places. Setting the record straight - in print - is a good way to combat such errant nonsense. Maybe reiterate this in your next interview (tho some members of the press these days are so pathetic that sometimes I'm ashamed to say I'm a former foreign correspondent). Wish I still were - in Europe, or back in Asia again. You'd be a whale of a lot more fun to interview than Tom Jones was on his "comeback tour". If we ever met, I'd have to tell you the story of that - you'd laugh your butt off! Cheers, Amie
