So... there have been a few concert cancellations recently, and not everyone is happy about it, understandably.  But if someone feels ill WHILE they are performing, what do you do?

SOMETIMES THINGS ARE OUT OF ANYONE'S CONTROL

Mystic Lake Amphitheatre cancelled/postponed the Dave Matthews Band show due to now what the venue is saying was a cancellation due to lightning.  There were also a bunch of pictures on social media showing standing water.  This is after the venue said that shows will go on rain or shine unless it's "extra gnarly" out, then they may cancel.  When lightning is involved, I think we all understand.  DMB has rescheduled for August.

LIONEL RICHIE HAD TO CUT HIS SHOW SHORT AT GRAND CASINO ARENA

Last night, Lionel Richie was performing at Grand Casino Arena with Earth Wind and Fire as his opener.  All things went well with Earth Wind and Fire, and at least an hour into his show, Richie left the stage telling the audience that he needed a minute, and would be back.  Unfortunately, that was not the case, about a half hour later a band member came out and let everyone know that Lionel Richie was not feeling well and would not be able to continue.

DO YOU THINK THAT THE SHOW TIME WAS ENOUGH OR NOT

Now, we all know that things happen.  However, if you were at the show, and you are a fan, how do you feel about this?  Was the opener, Earth Wind and Fire and an hour with Lionel Richie enough?  Do you feel like you would need some sort of ticket compensation?  Or do you just call it good because he did perform as long as he could, even sitting down for a bit because he was feeling dizzy, and at least he did perform for an hour.

What are your thoughts on this situation?
