I do have some concerns about Eddie at the moment. I know he's always had a dash of surfer intonation to his approach, but he's felt a little too checked out at points from footage I've seen this year.
Heard chat he does have some big shows lined up but struggling to see when they would be. Any outdoor gigs would be either in mid-July or well into football season.
No obligation for him to play a football stadium of course. The hometown shows in Leeds and Ipswich at the end of the Divide run were a success, but also among the very few on the tour that didn't sell out - so maybe there's a case he feels he's saturated the market too much.
