I cancelled my membership in 2006. I got in early but hate the social politics that surrounds that band. They don't release Holiday Single 45's anymore so you tell me. I always got everything I wanted online. They may have already set a hard deadline or a 'marker in the sand' if you will.
Good news, good news. I hope they make the leap across the pond and give us Europeans a good bunch of gigs. Considering how fast tickets have flown in their last visits, I think they could even sell out stadiums across the continent (other than in Italy lol).
