"release a new song and dedicate it to the fans"

bruh none of this is Abel's fault. he didn't kill the internet to sabotage his own tour. if anybody should do something its Rogers. And he doesn't own Rogers so HE can't make them do anything

I don’t give a f*** if it’s Abel’s fault or not? It happened to HIS fans at HIS show.

And no s*** that’s why I said “TRY” to get them to help out.

I literally wouldn’t care so much if he wasn’t supposedly heading straight out to film for the Idol after something like this(not confirmed if he is so I could be tripping on that)

he goin back to film the idol? okay that's actually hilarious LMFAOOO. this f***ing show still has not wrapped? and it was him who decided to reshoot it. ngl, he kinda foul for that if the service is back already

He was supposed to

Y’all it’s probably best to just divert the attention to the Philly show now as that seems like it’ll be the new opening night. I wonder how many tickets have sold since they last said 9,4k were remaining. Hopefully the team can think of some fresh marketing ploys to get the place close to selling out. Let’s hope for some positive news soon anyway!

so you think he should give up everything on his schedule and sit and cry about not doing the tour?

he should perform tonight bro lol. that show wrapped one time, then he was unhappy even though he wrote it and then it wrapped again like two weeks ago and he still going back to shoot sth (allegedly)

Just catching up on this, god damn it man my heart goes out to the Toronto XO fam

did you read the previous messages about how hard dealing with stadiums, setting them up, contracts are? Its not that easy where they can just do it the next day

All i ask for is a 7 minute rogers diss track

Family must be strong af after all that happened since take my breath

They're still in Toronto

You raise some valid, logistic/technical questions, to which I've no idea how long it takes for sets, semitrucks, buses, nor do I pretetend to know.

I only raise one question. Do you understand how many people took time of their lives to be present in yesterday's concert? With all the expenses, and everything?

If I was Abel I wouldn't worry about bureucracy, and transportation or venue building procedures and times, I got america/canada's biggest companies on payroll, experts who can worry about this stuff. I'd worry for my fans and the performance.

Regarding contracts and schedules. The outage didn't come 12 minutes before the show.

It happened at least, AT LEAST 12 hours before. abel, sal, lipman and that b**** exec who persuaded him in bbtm period could have all been on the phone, postponed the contracts and schedules, at least 24 hours.

I don't know the capacity of the venue, one google result says 20k+, another 50k+.

I'm no musician, but if tens of thousands of my fans traveled from all over the world to come see me, and paid full price of my tickets, I find the most decent human thing to do to negotiate at least 24 hours.

Plus all the vuses, semis, set you mention, many days were invested in building the set. 24 hours was the least they could negotiate. In the meantime they could have also negotiated with those ticketmaster pricks to make one, ONE exception at fheir s***ty policies, and have the ticket printed, or something, anything that doesn't rely on network, as a plan B.

If it was an outage in a small area, a small city of canada it will be s***ty of course, and it would have taken longer, as it ok, 5% of canada has an outage, but 95% don't. But this was a nation wide outage. Of course EVERYBODY was working on getting service back, businesses already were losing thousands from lack of network, rogers and co. they can't afford it to last.

The service was online about 1 hour after the concert was concert.
Yet the set shortly after being cancelled started being taken down.

Why did they start dismantling right away?

Why not announce: " hey everybody, sorry for the inconvenience, to give everybody the time, in two hours we're on!" Let them throw in a bonus. Free merch, free beer, and whatnot. Exclusive memorabilia.

My issue isn't necessarily him going shooting for idol. That'd be 15% of the focus. (Btw, how could you be filming in clear mind? Only if you have water in your veins, no blood. I'd be fuming if I was abel, for not having my voice heard for being powerless to raise my voice for the fans. I wouldn't be in condition to be shooting. But anyways, I digress.)
As I was saying, 15% weighs the part about him going back to shooting. 85% is the fact that he didn't fought enough, and like somebody else said above, all that came out of it was an IG post.

Abel probably has forgotten the struggles of a life 10+ years ago he faced, his fans do not have the same lifestyle as him where they can pause life and his next venue announcement, hop on their chopper and be present in the next date.

There were many things that could have been done better, much better. But they weren't. Now I don't know if it was for Abel's incompetence, or cause he's on a short leash and label execs don't give a flying f*** about his voice to be heard, but between these two options, one is worse than the other. A complete s***show and disgrace.

You might not like hearing criticism for your favourite musician but I tell it like it is.

i aint reading all that sorry for what happened

first of all. stadium tours have multiple stages. so that ain't a problem. and there's no way there's come contractual bullshit or something that he could not perform tonight. the rogers centre is free till tuesday

This stupid f***ing show has seemed more important to him than his music career since it started tbh

They’re being huge d***riders

Can't believe it still

yooo s*** lmaoooo you roasted him!!!1!!1
here, is this the attention you were looking for?

this is obviously a f***ed situation and ain't really Abel's fault, but he sadly isn't a saint here.

That’s completely f***ing different

man cant believe people really said you were the one who was overreacting
