artists do not owe their fans tour concerts and m&g's. their main job is to write music (in some cases), record, release and occasionally perform to promote the music. the concerts & m&g's are a bonus to all of that: to get more money, say thank you to the fans, gain more popularity, etc. in general, it's both a marketing strategy and a gift to the people that support the artist.
that is why, i think it should be respected when an artist doesn't want to tour and/or do m&g's if they're not comfortable with it, because it's not their obligation. we've just gotten so used to it that we think it is and we complain (well actually some of y'all do 'cause i don't) when they don't do it or when they don't perform at our countries, but the truth is, they don't really have to.
i do hope rhea recovers soon but Jesus y’all… the way some of y’all are attacking liv is disgusting. i get disliking a character but sending death threats and shit to gionna (liv’s real name) and wishing for her to lose her job is fucking gross. psychotic behavior.
this is WRESTLING… mistakes like that are gonna happen. i know demi (rhea’s real name) would hate y’all.
this is like the Paige and Sasha situation all over again.
in all seriousness tho… i do hope rhea/demi recovers soon !! ik liv and rhea are gonna put on a banger of a feud when she does come back !!
Can anyone challenge Lotte Kopecky at De Ronde van Vlaanderen (the Tour of Flanders), as she looks for a third victory in a row? Last year SD Worx was so dominant that Kopecky's teammate Demi Vollering took second. But Marianne Vos is back on the start list for the first time since 2013, and she is in top form. And there's always an opportunity for a break-out performance of a new talent, like Puck Pieterse, who is on the start list.
