I must ask you to avoid in-person autograph and selfie requests at all concerts for the foreseeable future. Due to the ongoing and still worsening Covid pandemic realities, I really have to stay in my social “bubble” with the band and crew and reduce contact with anyone else while we are on tour, as well as for a week or two either side of tours and concerts. This to to reduce the risk of any of us becoming infected and then having to cancel upcoming shows as a result.

Great to see you, as always, but it is not yet the time for up-close scribbles, hugs and selfies. Thanks for your understanding.

Ian Anderson.
