What people are saying
After a triumphant welcome-back concert on Thursday, Barry got hit with bronchitis and had to cancel his Friday and Saturday shows.
The shows were fantastic. The audiences were fantastic. And I sounded fantastic. But it seems that we were pushing a little too hard.
Now we all need to sit down and shut up,
This is the first time back in a long time. I have some medical problems, but I’m back!
