Creatre 0 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Not sure if anyone noticed, but these tickets are now available to the public for purchase on their website. Good bit of seats left.I bought a ticket and planned a weekend in San Diego. Excited, as it will be my first time seeing Williams as conductor in person.

TownerFan 5,237 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Come on, the man is almost 83 years-old, it could be a temporary illness like a bad flu or something else that prevents him from doing such (very demanding) physical activities like traveling and conducting. At that age, if you aren't more than fit, any doctor will suggest you to rest and avoid any stressful activities for the body until you're fully recovered.

Balahkay 629 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I doubt they would call it a minor temporary health issue if it was more serious. They stated it in that way so people don't freak out. I guess it didn't work. :-\ Anyway, there's no point belaboring this issue. It is what it is.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,424 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 KM, John Williams may not have dictated that message. It was probably his agents. Also, he is a deeply private man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balahkay 629 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Cigarette and cigar smoking affects people differently, too. I know people who have smoked heavily for decades and they have a clean bill of health. Luck or good genes, I'm not sure. In any case, we don't know the medical history and issues of either man.

Thor 8,439 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 JW smokes cigarsHe used to. I believe he stopped a long time ago.He did.To me, he seems to be more healthy than most 83-year-olds I've known. At that age, my own grandfather (who passed away in 2011 at age 85) was hardly mobile. Williams, on the other hand, has LONG walks every day.

Mr. Brown 91 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I lol'd at some of the posts in this thread, especially this one:That...doesn't sound good at all.http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2015/jan/09/san-diego-symphony-williams-cancels/Although that link uses the same statement from the SD Symphony's site, his post was written as if he found some ground-breaking article that revealed grim details about John Williams' health. I wish John Williams the best. My sympathy to those who bought tickets and aren't able to see him perform. Total bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
