Some said they would never go to a concert at Home Park again because of the curfew that caused performers to leave the stage.
Others expressed their fury on social media and demanded that the Lord Mayor be held accountable, as some reportedly held him responsible for the abrupt ending of the concert.
A fan wrote on Facebook, “At 10:29pm, Rod is called to the edge of the stage and told: ‘The Mayor says you’ve broken curfew’.” In response, Rod yells: “Tell the mayor to fuck off!” – and the scene plunges into darkness. “Everyone was expecting an encore, but the lights came on in the audience and the janitors started coming in. So ‘We Are Sailing’, which was supposed to be the encore, was not performed.
It was necessary for Plymouth, the naval community where the Arch Royal was located, which is so important to anyone connected to the city. On Twitter, Rod’s fans were equally outraged and criticized the singer’s “absolutely rude and disrespectful” treatment.
Some said they sincerely hope Sir Rod continues in this vein and the perpetrators are punished accordingly. Especially after the singer has battled cancer and boldly stated that none of this will stop his singing career.
