Creatre 0 Posted November 18, 2014 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.
nightscape94 967 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I have a friend who lives out in San Diego. I'll pass it along!
Director of Poltergeist 8,127 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Anyone in LA area want to road trip with me?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 How can Visitor In San Diego not be on the program? Director of Poltergeist 1
Creatre 0 Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Wow, looks like they are doing a meet+greet before hand. Way too expensive for me though. http://purchasing.sandiegosymphony.org/auxiliary/PSDetail.aspx?psn=4812
Creatre 0 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Note: For health reasons, Mr. Williams has regretfully withdrawn from his previously announced appearance leading these concerts.Wow....sigh. Guess I'm going to cancel my trip I planned just for this. Really sucks, was hoping to see him before health issues.
Director of Poltergeist 8,127 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 That...doesn't sound good at all.http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2015/jan/09/san-diego-symphony-williams-cancels/
Balahkay 629 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 temporary minor health issue.I hope he's doing okay.
Thor 9,308 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Phew...I'm glad it's just 'temporary minor health issue', which could basically be a cold.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Don't fool yourself
Creatre 0 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Phew...I'm glad it's just 'temporary minor health issue', which could basically be a cold.My guess is it's more severe than a cold. The concert date is still 20 days away. That's a long period of time to have a minor health issue?
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I agree. It's a bit worrying.
Maurizio 5,893 Posted January 10, 2015 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.

Let's not go all doom and gloom at just the slightest mishap.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 83 is an age where most people who haven't yet dies are pretty much at deaths door.I'm sorry but I'm just being realistic
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Go back to your silver lining, Asgardian!
King Mark 3,834 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I'm worriedMy guess is it's more severe than a cold. The concert date is still 20 days away.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Does anyone else have a playlist ready for when the news of his death breaks?
King Mark 3,834 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Williams should be focused on completing Episode 7 instead of concerts
Balahkay 629 Posted January 10, 2015 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.
King Mark 3,834 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I doubt they would call it a minor temporary health issue if it was more serious. true,I don't think JW would want to be misleading
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Jerry had minor health issues in 2003 and 2004.....
King Mark 3,834 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 JW smokes cigarsbut at that age all that stuff is irrlevant, you can just die of anythingMaybe it's a heart related issue
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 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.
Balahkay 629 Posted January 10, 2015 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.
King Mark 3,834 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Here's the list of things you have to worry about at that age:StrokeHeart AttackCancerPneumoniaFractures due to injury
Balahkay 629 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Here's the list of things you have to worry about at that age:StrokeHeart AttackCancerPneumoniaFractures due to injuryI wouldn't put any of those in the categories of minor and temporary.
Miguel Andrade 1,527 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 JW smokes cigarsHe used to. I believe he stopped a long time ago.
Thor 9,308 Posted January 10, 2015 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.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 There is that optimism again!
Thor 9,308 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 In my own friend circle, I'm known as a pessimist. I'm delighted to meet someone who even makes ME appear optimistic.
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Norwegians must be a gloomy bunch! Maybe because the booze is so expensive.
King Mark 3,834 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 We need to know if Miguel is worried, then we can decide if we should be worried too
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Miguel is never worried! Despite the Portuguese being quite a melancholy folk.
King Mark 3,834 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 I remember in 2002 a few pictures of JW got us worried about his health
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 The one with JW in carbonite? Ricard 1
Mr. Brown 91 Posted January 10, 2015 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.
indy4 159 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Since the concert is 20 days away, my guess is he fell or something and needs some time to heal. Hopefully it's nothing more than that!
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,949 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 At age 83 a broken bone takes ages to heal, and might become infected
publicist 4,648 Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Morricone just recovered from a slipped disc and is on world tour again. So there.
