I think you will find you are in a bit of a minority there You did not go to the gigs then? He was not missed one single bit.

agreed mate saw them in manchester and coventry and they were AMAZING, jerry or no jerry

[matelot95]

100% agree. Jerry had his chance and he turned it down. He wanted to do a big one-off stadium gig and the others wanted to do a tour of mid-sized venues. It would have been great to have him there, but his loss is everyone's gain.
