What I want to know is why Karl felt it necessary to share this message on a forum. Being in the industry I'm not sure what benefit there would be to him to "leak" information like this.
I actually am curious what really happened now, but that's one of those things that I'd keep to myself if I found out. That kinda thing is not meant to be fuel for fans to talk about. I mean, what is there to discuss? Ozma either turned down the tour, or they didn't. But who gives a fuck regardless? The tour is over. Sure, it's interesting, and like I said, I would want to know the truth just as a fan, but at this point it's only because rumors are worse than information, and this has turned into a rumor.
