Je suis déçue, comme d’innombrables autres fans. Beirut, qui devait passer le 26 juin prochain à l’Olympia (complet d’ailleurs), a annulé sa tournée européenne. C’est un Zach Condon fatigué, ne gérant pas la pression, se retrouvant même à l’hopital avec une crise d’angoisse qu’on regrettera de ne pas voir sur scène. On ne sait pour quand sera son retour, mais dans une lettre publiée sur son site officiel, il s’explique :
"It’s with great regret that I have to
tell all of you that Beirut is canceling their summer European shows.
My reasons for doing this are many, a lot of them personal, but I still
feel I need to provide something of an explanation.
The past two years have been a mindblowing experience. From the first
indications that people were putting songs from Gulag up on their blogs
to our incredible tour of Australia and New Zealand that we just
completed, everything that has happened has been beyond anything I’d
ever hoped could happen with the music I wrote and recorded in my
bedroom. Once things started happening, I decided I wanted to do
everything as big as possible. So, I set about putting together a large
band, and giving that band a huge sound, and making the most
spectacular records we possibly could.
I know this can sound like an artist shithead kind of comment, but
going through all that really does have its low points along with the
highs. The responsibilities of gathering people around your vision,
working with great people like those who work directly for the band and
those at the label, wanting to insure that every show is as good as
humanly possible so that every single person in the audience sees that
we put in a real effort, all of that leads to a lot of issues in terms
of doing right by people who have done you right.
It’s come time to change some things, reinvent some others, and come
back at some point with a fresh perspective and batch of songs.
Please accept my apologies. I promise we’ll be back, in some form."
Zach
On espère vraiment que ce n’est pas la fin de Beirut.
