The Rolling Stones got it right.

maybe its something to do with the "family illness"

Perhaps, but that sounds pretty suspicious since they spent the majority of the first leg on the US west coast, 5 hours further flying from their homes in Ireland than the original Florida rumour. Of course it's possible that this family member is getting treated in LA or something. But then if that's the case they're going back to Europe for the summer and we're back where we started out. Simply put I'm not sure how accurate this family illness thing is. Whatever the case, Sarajevo is just one example, but it's closer to Ireland than LA.

At the end of the day Isabelle Guns is right. Everybody does things their own way ans U2 is not a catering service. I do think Rolling Stones are doing a good thing, a more exciting thing at any rate, by going to smaller less run-of-the-mill places.
