Urgent Torchsong News!

From John Barrowman's website-

Quote:
“Unfortunately, John has sustained an injury and is no longer able to attend the Torchsong convention in Chicago this weekend as he is not allowed to fly. Please see the statement below from John's manager:

It is with great regret that I have to announce that John Barrowman is not able to attend Torchsong Chicago. John sustained a very nasty injury to his left ankle yesterday. An MRI scan has confirmed that he has completely ruptured all the ligaments around his ankle. He cannot bear any weight on his foot and the doctor has said he is not medically fit to undertake long distance flights or his planned work. He must rest at home with his foot elevated for much of the time.

The plan is for John to do a video link with Torchsong. He is upset not to be able to come and enjoy the weekend with you all. He sends his love and best wishes to you all.

Gavin Barker.

We know this news will be a huge disappointment to those of you attending
Torchsong and John and his manager are in contact with Mary Lee Holzheimer on the matter. Please bear with us and watch the Torchsong site for further news from the convention organisers. We will announce any further information as soon as we have it.”

I know of some fans who've paid in excess of $500 for the concert and they're being told no refunds because Barrowman will be doing a Q&A/concert by videolink. Imagine Britney appearing by videolink at the O2? Outrageous!

The organisers sound like rank amateurs. One fan emailed about a partial refund (for photo ops and autographs that aren't going to happen with Barrowman a couple of thousand miles away) and the reply was
Quote:
“WE CAN NOT GIVE YOU A REFUND SINCE WE HAVE TO PAY for other things. Please do come and be surprised.

MaryLee”

It's unfortunate that JB got injured, but to fob fans off like that is disgraceful. Don't these people know about insurance? Talk about putting the "Con" in convention!
