I just can not believe it. I just can't. I'm really having a hard time letting Mary go. I keep listening to "Don't Let My Teardrops Bother You". She was so special. I miss you Mary. I hope you Rest In Peace.

I know what you mean. Yesterday, as she crossed my mind, my stomach plummeted on two separate occasions. Let's lift her memory, her loved ones and each other up.
I have been listening to the early Supremes albums and the angelic harmonies. The vocals of Diana, Flo and Mary seem to be of a more romantic time.
Did Mary Wilson receive the Covid vaccine?
I think this is hard on us all.
The Supremes are the soundtrack to our lives.
None of us want to let them go but the music will live on.
Bob Seger..neil diamond..barry manilow....peter frampton have all announced retirements.
How many artists will come back from this. A few but honestly I doubt many.
I think the covid pandemic has drawn the line in the sand.just my opinion.
My sympathies to Mary's family.
It's been a difficult week for sure.Quote:

I do not know if Mary received the Covid vaccine, but Diana most certainly did in January.Quote:

If as seems likely any further major tours are unlikely do you think she would consider Glastonbury as a one-off?
I would take the first steps in trying to retrieve your money. They will probably play hard ball initially and claim the tour is not yet officially cancelled, but i was told before Christmas of it's impending cancellation. There is no way it will go ahead.Quote:

No i do not. Glastonbury is unlikely to go ahead for the next few years. She will not even consider doing any form of live work until the pandemic has been controlled. She is adament about that. Nothing will change her mind. Sorry Florence.Quote:

Not sure why this response has posted twice, but i guess twice is better than none at all. Gremlins are at work!Quote:

My new "smart" TV comes on for no apparent reason when I am no where near the remote. It's eerie. I think I got a dumb TV.
It's probably Alien's preparing to invade us! If they have the power to eradicate Covid 19 then i will lay out the welcome mat!Quote:

If the pandemic is controlled, why she'd stop completely? Why can't she do the UK concert dates in 2022? She can take care of herself and be in shape for those dates next year. What big difference it would make between july 2020 and july 2022?
Let her retire after 2024, when she is 80!
I’m fearful that “80” number answered the question
With each advancing year comes additional health problems whether they be just aches and pains or something more serious. I was secretly relieved when the dates for 2020 were postponed/cancelled. I was greatly concerned when extra dates were being added to an already punishing schedule. It was just too much for a lady of her advancing years. If she does decide to proceed with the dates in 2022 they will be scaled down considerably.Quote:

I'll be the first to admit, I cracked jokes here and there about Mary on here but one can't deny just how loved she was. And not just by the fans but by her peers as well.

I say that because she was sparkling in recent performances. She seems reinvigorated in recent years. And her voice still sounds so good. It's hard to believe she'd stop while she still looks and sounds so good. I hope she continues at least until she is 80. Or, at least, that she does her farewell tour in UK/Europe, a place that always treated her with the respect and success that she deserves. But I can understand what you say.
