1. Did I miss something?
    Does anyone know what the B Man’s near death experience was which is talked about on the SOE Apple Music film?
  2. No one knows, this isn't public information. It happened around Christmas last year and he's perfectly fine now, that's all we know.
  3. Kind of throws the myth of the album being ready in 2016 to the wall as lyrically there in a renewed depth in his lyrics.
  4. I know it could be a million things but maybe something that's really preventing him from being 100%
    He sounded great JT30 tour, off some night's but to be expected. What ever it was wrong with him ,well he has not really lead on that anything is wrong with him.
  5. I loved the note he wrote in the liner notes of SOE.
  6. Guess thats why he was not busking last Christmas. I did not give it a second thought at the time.
  7. I thought they were just filming that Christmas/JT video, but I guess so
  8. Based on the amount of water he drank in JT tour, I bet on renal stones.
  9. This is a contender for my all time favorite post on this website
  10. I assumed the bike accident but he timeline doesn’t fit. Hmmm
  11. Yeah, when speaking about it, he's mentioned the bike accident and then gone on to say there was something else as well, and has also spoken about having to make some lifestyle changes in an interview (or words to that effect at least). Plus the liner notes on SOE.

    I suppose if he wanted to disclose the precise nature of what it actually was, then he just would, he's not exactly backwards in coming forwards, right?

    So my assumption, is this one is obviously intended to be a private matter, and some things, even if its nothing particularly embarrassing or whatever, you wouldn't necessarily want all your mates or colleagues knowing the precise ins and outs of, never mind the whole world.

    I suppose he's had to say something about it as the matter has been central to the songwriting process on SoE. Plus perhaps, he's kinda letting us all know that there has been a significant thing he's had to deal with, that whilst it may be dealt with, there may be things in relation to it that effect his life.

    I guess it could be a million and one different things, when you hit 40+, things just start falling to pieces it seems lol, slowly but surely, and even the worlds biggest fuck-off rich rockstars can only escape that so much.

    So, me personally, I just hope whatever it was (and we don't really need to know at the end of the day) that he's as good as can be right now and doing all he can to keep it that way.

    The positive spin on all of this, is Bono has said words to the effect of... "as it turns out... I think we will have much more to say..." when talking about SOE (after it was in the bag pretty much - October 2017).

    So I think a brand new chapter is about to unfold over the next few years, good health willing.

    Here's to that...
