A SETBACK IN SHEFFIELD
Due to Mike Mills’ illness, tonight’s show in Sheffield was postponed
until june 15th, when the band will return to this arena to make up
for tonight’s nonappearance. Mike is receiving medical care, and we
are all hopeful that the flu-like symptoms afflicting him will be
better soon and that we will be able to resume shows soon, hopefully
tomorrow night in Glasgow at the S.E.C. 
The announcement came from the stage, when Michael and Peter went up
to let the crowd know how sorry the guys were not to be able to play
tonight. Like all concerts, they are here to play, and this is not
something we do lightly; the crowd was really supportive and
understanding and were treated to something pretty special: an
accoustic set of "The One I Love," "Leaving New York," "I’ve Been
High," and "Losing My Religion." The house lights stayed up, and it
was the largest coffeehouse in the world for 20 minutes; the slow and
beautiful melodies amidst a surprising and somber situation...one guy
stood throughout "The One I Love" with arms raised clutching his beers
in a show of solidarity (later he appears to have decided to drink the
beers!). I saw familiar faces on the front row including some fan club
members from other parts of the United Kingdom and from Germany.
Michael mentioned that he knows a lot of people came from far away to
be here and that just made the dissappointment for the band even
worse...but if a guy is too sick to play, which Mike is, this is all
we can do--come back and play another time, and the 15th of June it is
for Sheffield: the date is available in the hall, U2 will have just
played Manchester the night before; we will be playing Manchester two
nights later, and it is during a short break in the tour which will
now be shorter. 
We are hoping tomorrow night's show in Scotland, as well as the rest
of the shows this week, can proceed, but we will probably not know
until tomorrow and will get the word out all means possible. Stay
tuned. On a personal level, the overarching sensations I felt during
the short set the guys gamely got through tonight were of admiration
and gratitude, seeing how Michael and Peter (and Mike for that matter)
handled the situation, and for the fans, who were equally graceful in
their acceptance. It turned a negative situation into one that, if not
exactly positive, was at least as good as it could be...not the night
all had envisioned, but a memorable night nonetheless, and something
tells me June 15th here in Sheffield will be too...and hopefully
happier for all concerned. It will be the only indoor show on the
summer open-air leg of the tour, and I imagine it will rock. 
Meanwhile, as Michael said from the stage, keep Mike in your thoughts
and prayers. He is going to be fine, but how soon, we do not know.
On We Go, We Hope

It is the function of the artist to evoke the experience of surprised recognition:

American rock band REM were tonight forced to cancel a show after a
member of the group was taken to hospital.
Bass player Mike Mills was taken to hospital in Sheffield, where the
band had been due to perform, after complaining of severe flu-like
symptoms.
A spokeswoman for the band said when Mills arrived at the Hallam FM
Arena an hour before the band were due on stage he “could hardly stand
up let alone play.”
Fellow band members, frontman Michael Stipe and guitarist Peter Buck,
played four songs acoustically for the 12,000-strong audience.
The pair, who performed for about 15 minutes, played The One I Love,
Leaving New York, I’ve Been High and Losing My Religion.
The concert has been rescheduled for June 15 and everyone who had a
ticket for tonight’s show would be able to attend then, the
spokeswoman said.
“They feel terrible about having to cancel the show at the last
minute.
“Anyone who has a ticket for tonight’s gig should hold on to their
ticket stub and they will gain entry.”
The concert had been one of four UK dates the band was due to play as
part of their European tour.
It was hoped Mills would be well enough to play tomorrow’s concert in
Glasgow, she said.
