After the passing of John Wetton in 2017

I am excluding Geoff Downes on the grounds of how he treated John Payne during the "Original ASIA" reunion.
John played his heart out from 1991-2006
and the only thanks he got was to be slapped with a lawsuit
for wanting to keep his work going.

What are your thoughts of a new ASIA LP with

John Payne (Bass)
Erik Norlander (Keyboards)
Carl Palmer (Drums)
Sam Coulson (Lead Guitar)

To ASIA: Featuring John Payne & the band.

I regret that I feel it unsafe to attend the upcoming concert this upcoming Saturday in Grapevine TX.

With the COVID-19: Delta strain running rampant, and the 95+ heat expected at 5:30 when they are due to take to the stage.

Along with wearing a stifling mask, I can't do that to my wife or myself.

Good luck Gentlemen and have a great show!
