He is coming to Italy!!

He did not play anything

[wespresso]

His age is really showing now.

Why are you saying that? Did you notice that during the interview?

Yeah, but somehow, there's still people who expect him to play stuff like Tunnel of Love live.

Right. For those people it's time to book a reality check.

He simply looks old. Plus his movements are stiffer and he looks out of shape.

[Love Expresso]

That's a pretty friendly description of him just become pretty fat!!! A diet and after that 25 kg less and we'll have the same Mark as usual, plus he won't be out of breath from entering the stage alone. Pretty disturbing to see him this way! He seems to be in good spirits though.

An elderly gentleman with a tummy is quite natural

Counting my frustration growing over the years about his consistency  in refusing to perform it, what a waiste of real happiness now that he can't physically handle it anymore

yes and let's add the absurdly left out version from On The Night

Just shocked.  I've seen recent pictures but to see film footage is staggering.  There is no way he can tour in that shape.

He was in very good spirits though, which was nice to see.

I really hope that the Scandinavian dates are in the back of the schedule. 

He's earned every right to age the way he wants. However, by the way he signals his appearance at the moment I'm saying the setlists will be the same-old same-old.

But hey, it worked for BB.

why not, weight wise he is more or less like Gilmour now, yes a surprise and a little bit shocked too but all he needs is big and strong hands and he has them

I'm quite shocked too at the amount of weight he has gained since I last saw him in 2015, but I'm sure he can lose it, if he tries, before the next tour starts.

I suspect we may be making a mountain out of a molehill here. Mark is 69 years old now and is ageing just as any ordinary 69-year-old would. It’s one of those things we have to accept. Yes, he does appear to have put on some weight. Nothing unusual. And it did appear to me from the video that he had a bit of a stiff back and a slight limp, which, for all we know, may well be a recurrence of the trapped nerve issue he had during the Get Lucky tour. Perhaps we will see a return of the seat on the next tour. No bad thing in my opinion. It certainly didn’t detract from the performances.

No wonder he talks about scaling down touring when he's in a shape like this.

Don't get me wrong: He's 69, he's done all the touring he needs to do, and he has all the right to take it easy, eat well and gain a few pounds. I don't blame him for anything, but I think we to temper our expectations with regards to a more energetic and less static show during the coming tour.
