The supposition, per a fairly reliable source, was that Keith traveled to England to meet with Charlie and Mick to discuss future Band plans. Further supposition is that Mick cut meeting very short to leave for India (for Superheavy work (?) pissing off Keith and Charlie.
Pure supposition. Shouldn't have mentioned it I suppose. IF true it really isn't a big deal amongst lifelong mates. But with time running out, any delay in getting these guys on the same page, is disturbing to me.
So they did meet (thats what I recall hearing at the time, which is what surprised me when I read your comment that he'd 'blown them out')
I also recall being told that at said meeting, things were somewhat frosty to say the least. For obvious reasons!
But how long does a band meeting take? Seriously? Three hours? Six hours?
And how difficult can it be for four semi-retired multi-millionaires who are otherwise doing very little to reconvene in one room? Shit - they can have a meeting by videolink if they wanted to.
If the guy is in the middle of working on a record, then sometimes things come up at short notice that need worked on. Its really no big deal.
And this 'time running out' thing I dont get either. Its not as if theyre terminally ill, and a couple of weeks delay is going to change anything. If deadlines for doing something before a tour is a big deal, they're more aware of that than any of us, I'd guess.
