BC: Ugh. Can we put the lights on really bright for a second? Alright. Um, don't be mad at me, I'm very sick. I went to the doctor, everything, my voice is totally fucked. Um, there's absolutely no way I can continue, my - my voice is going to go. So, we're sorry you came, we'll give you all your money back. Uh, we love you. I'm too sick, so....
Melissa: Pardon, pardon, excusez-nous. C'est vraiment sa voix qui est cassée depuis hier. Il a essayé. Pardon. [Translation: Sorry, sorry, excuse us. It’s really his voice that has been broken since yesterday. He tried. Sorry.] (off mic) Sorry.
BC: You could be mad, you know, you can be mad at me, we still love you. We appreciate you very much here. We've always had great concerts here. There's nothing I can do. I tried. I'm too sick. We love you. ... And I promise everybody’ll get a full refund. Don't worry about it, you'll get all your money back. We're sorry about your time. We love you.
