My Window To The World…

As I suspected, it was nothing but a rumour thanks to some people misinterpreting what they saw on stage.

Placebo sent this out as a MySpace Bulletin:

“Hey all -

To the amazing Portuguese fans who came out last night and unfortunately were disappointed because Brian had to cut short the set the band have issued the following apology.
Beixinhos para voceis -

APOLOGY TO PORTUGESE FANS

Placebo would like to apologise unreservedly to all the fans who attended the Creamfields festival in Lisbon last night (Friday 19th May). The set was cut short due to Brian losing his voice as an extreme reaction to the cold temperatures. He was literally unable to keep singing. The band left the stage for the encore but decided it was impossible to continue. “We sincerely apologise to all our fans at Creamfields. We understand that it must have seemed confusing as to what was going on and we are sorry we had to cut our set short. Nothing frustrates us more than having on stage problems. In this instance, the problems were simply Brian’s voice. We hate to let our fans down but there was just nothing we could do. It’s certainly not the way we’d hoped to kick off our European tour!”
