  2. Poor Robert and his voice. He is so amazing that he keeps the shows the same length even though his voice is shot, he wants to give everything to his fans. Rest Well Bob. We love you!!!

  3. Does anyone know what is wrong with Robert's voice? Is it an illness (a lot of ill people around) or has he overworked it? It seems to me that it gets worse by the second/third encore.

    I'm surprised they haven't changed the sets to include songs that would put less stress on his voice.

  4. His voice is hoarse from all the shows, he has had a nonstop schedule this year and very little time off to rest his voice. Singing 3 hour shows every other night is quite the strain on the vocal chords. It can cause all sorts of problems such as nodules developing on the vocal chords.

  5. Plus he really gave every show in N America 150% every night. Let's see what he sounds like in Madrid & Lisbon.

  6. I worry about his voice. He did an excellent job in the States. I hope he's going to be okay. I will be cheering him on in Manchester and London.

  7. Yes, of course, all that you want about his voice... but Robert on the stage is simply... non plus ultra! I was in Milan first show and they went on 2 hours 50': who the fuck cares about vocal performance when Robert breathes... the same air as you?

  8. I went to the 3 french shows and yesterday night in Montpellier was a great and surprising change : Robert had his REAL voice back, powerfull and he felt secure with, he REALLY sang the songs close to the former melodies (great sinking !) and it was just "like before" even if we know I cant get as high as before.. Really great night, great show (give me it !!...) and great crowd too like in Lyon far better than in Paris. Enjoy the next shows everybody !
