[kj] Facebook official statement...Jaz gone AWOL

I first heard about this drama from the online news - unusual - now all my
mates reckon they're comedians by telling me Jaz has gone AWOL and
suggesting I check under the house.

Anyone else getting that?

Jaz does describe his experiences with manic / bipolar in "Prozac People".

"Lately I have been thinking that KJ's intense activity since 2003
(following some seven years of silence) was a sign that Jaz's manic
depression was entering the intense-activity phase. I also felt this ten
years of prolific (for Killing Joke) output would come to a sudden end as
Jaz's mood trended downwards. I wonder if that is beginning now. No doubt
I'm speculating too wildly (I hope so) and I am not even sure if Jaz is
bi-polar/manic, though I believe he has said that he is.

Disappearing off the face of the earth after an irrational, embarrassing
outburst echoes very much of Stephen Fry's bi-polar-related abscondment from
the West End all those years ago.

I've a feeling we shall not be seeing another Gathering other for half a
decade at least."

Maybe they could play the gigs with a Scarecrow in place of Jaz?

Not as if it hasn't been done before

KILLING JOKE

Official Statement

A statement was posted on Facebook, reputedly by our singer, maligning both
The Cult and The Mission and pulling us out of the shows.
He is now AWOL and has not contacted any of his band mates.

We are deeply embarrassed by this and offer our sincere apologies to all
involved.

We are all concerned about our missing singer's welfare.

Killing Joke made a collective decision to play with The Cult and The
Mission in September.

It was agreed by all of the band that we would do these shows. Indeed, we
thought that they were something to look forward to, even though they were
downsized.

We would still like to honour our commitment to this tour, the other bands,
and all the Gatherers and people who have already bought tickets and made
travel arrangements.

If this proves not possible, Killing Joke will make alternative arrangements
to compensate for the trouble caused.

Meanwhile we are doing everything we can to make this tour happen and locate
our missing singer.

Mike Coles needs to design new artwork now and plant Jaz's face somewhere in
a "Where's Wally" design.

Apart from the obvious, Youths line in the D&R trailer springs to mind
[something like] "Each time we started to get a little success, Jaz would go
& do something to fuck it up"
As for Jaz's location, he's probably up his own arse somewhere & got lost.

It really is like one of those kids comics turned into a piss take Viz
sketch, it's like the "Bumpkin Billionnaires" out of Whoopee...trying their
damned hardest to loose their fortune, but always gained it back.

Lately I have been thinking that KJ's intense activity since 2003 (following
some seven years of silence) was a sign that Jaz's manic depression was
entering the intense-activity phase. I also felt this ten years of prolific
(for Killing Joke) output would come to a sudden end as Jaz's mood trended
downwards. I wonder if that is beginning now. No doubt I'm speculating too
wildly (I hope so) and I am not even sure if Jaz is bi-polar/manic, though I
believe he has said that he is.

Disappearing off the face of the earth after an irrational, embarrassing
outburst echoes very much of Stephen Fry's bi-polar-related abscondment from
the West End all those years ago.

I've a feeling we shall not be seeing another Gathering other for half a
