So theft is OK as long as it's from people you have decided have enough money. I guess the people who broke into my home and removed my VCRs, camcorder, most of my jewellery etc plus a suitcase to carry it off in thought the same.

Oh and if you cancel a show, you make it up at a later date. Otherwise I will always hold it against you. THAT is an extreme disservice to your fans.

The reality is that performers are susceptible to illness, however wealthy you decide they must be, and however hard they try and guard against it, as well as theft. The tour carries insurance so that if a show is cancelled, or stopped after 60 minutes, you get your money back if the show cannot be rescheduled. Rescheduling is not merely at the discretion of the performer. The venue may be unable to provide a date that is feasible. Not without cancelling another performer's show so that her fans can hold it against her forever
