Dear Melonheads,
This is a very difficult time for everyone. For two years we enjoyed the reunited band. Everyone has accepted the band and the name Blind Melon including myself. They all gave it their best and I personally know that the stress is always harder on the lead singer because if his voice doesn't measure up to what the fans expect, it's very painful for him. Please try to understand that if Travis's vocal chords were going bad, he had no choice, he is young and his future is music. He just couldn't sing Shannon's songs every night because his voice couldn't take it and that's all there is to it. The worst things that fans at this point can do is to be negative towards the band and Travis.
If we could all just stay positive and say a prayer for everyone involved, maybe there is a chance that things could be worked out. Think of all the bands that have broken up before and have gotten back together. It wasn't easy for me to accept Travis but I think that he was the perfect choice. The power of positive thinking is an amazing thing. If we all focus on our love for the band maybe the positive energy will help them find their way back in time.
Right now they need positive energy, without judgments and bashing, there's five of them, not one, not four, Blind Melon is a band, and Travis was a part of it.
PEACE AND LOVE
nel and lillie

Lillie,
Tell Nel thank you for writing this. Its good to hear from her on this subject and she was in everyone's thoughts. We were all wondering how she felt and I think her message of Positive thoughts is a good one.

well said Nel,I 100% agree.
we all just have to keep hopeing things can be worked out, nothing is fixed overnight, give it time and maybe things will turn around, I support both the Blind Melon boys and Travis with whatever they decide to do, and whereever they decide to go, but it still feels like a bad dream I gotta admit..
as Travis said himself at one point..
"When you fall back down,and you lost your crown..
Get back up, walk around..turn that frown upside down..
Take my hand once again..we will all understand..help you find a new plan..
It's time to help you..Get you back on your feet and on your way..
If the tables were turned around..I know you'd be there for me..
It all works out.."
And fuck do I hope it all works out..
what would Shannon think..
