Nicely written piece on an interesting issue about performance (not a new one to this board I'm sure).

But his complaints were constant; wandering around the stage cradling his tea, looking up at the ceiling as if he believed that this would be his last ever song, shaking his head in disbelief at his own sickness. At points, he was able to come down into the crowd and do a bit of singing from there, pull a few Michael Jackson shapes, and attempt some supposedly ironic but nonetheless terribly pretentious interpretive dance."
