"Fans from around the world" are bitching and moaning to the NME about how Jimmy Page's finger ouchie has "plunged [them] into travel chaos." Sure, "fans from around the world" probably translates to "a couple of irate yanks with entitlement issues," but at least the Brit tabloid is doing its part to keep ugly American stereotypes alive.
"People have planned their travels from all over the globe, myself included, to come to this once in a lifetime show!" [a fan] wrote. "This reflects poorly on the charity and Led Zeppelin's commitment to it.
"It would be more admirable for them to cancel altogether, as most people who have tickets will not be able to make a rescheduled trip - me being one of them! Shame on Led Zeppelin!"
Yes, it would have been "more admirable" to shut out the thousands who will be able to reschedule in a show of support for the smaller percentage of fans. Perhaps Page should also handwrite a note of apology to everyone who can no longer attend the concert. Once his finger heals, of course.

Can't the poor Yank just wait for the US shows next summer...
/believe it when i see it
So, because Page breaks a bone and can't play (seems to me to be a good reason for delaying the gig), they should cancel it and piss everyone off? And it is the fault of the charity as well? Hmmm....
