The Drive 959 Team discusses the tricky waters that public figures find themselves in when they cancel their commitment to an event, and the disappointment that their fans and supporters feel, when they learn that the headlining person can't come to the event anymore. Can public figures be understood to be human too? Or does their duty to their supporters always mean that they are bound to criticism for their change of plans?
