This isn't good news no matter how it turns out.

Probably the most positive spin that can be put on this is that as Alex suggested, Jaz is simply embarrassed he mouthed off about
how he felt and that *he* wanted the tour cancelled w/The Cult or he's not communicating so he can't get dragged or talked into
doing the shows and is just playing hard to get with the rest of the band and management - something which further illustrates how
there's always been a fragile relationship between the other guys and Jaz, especially when it comes to band business dealings. At
the very least, this is playing out like the Pandemonium/Democracy era all over again - I just don't see how the rest of the band
can easily overlook this in light of their Facebook statement if it's just Jaz being a goofy fucker. The rest of the guys clearly
wanted to do these dates, even with the downsized venues, they were probably going to make a decent payday and may be facing
financial penalties from the promoter if they pulled out without just cause.

On the other end of the spectrum, I am reminded of a very similar situation w/Stuart Adamson and Big Country over a decade ago
resulting in Stuart being found dead in a hotel room where he'd hanged himself due to clinical depression.
