That sucks! That especially sucks for my my buddy Jon and some of his friends. They had tickets to see James Brown on New Years Eve at the BB King Blues Bar and Grille. I wonder if they'll get a refund now?

I doubt it. I'm sure they will find a very good replacement.

They probably will still go I would assume. I haven't talked to him yet but they have a couple suites reserved so it would be a waste not to go. Jon has seen James Brown around 20 times or so. He just saw him like a year ago in Toronto. He said even at 70 something years old he was still wild in concert, doing full splits and all.

James Brown will definitely be missed...he was a great entertainer and definitely one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family as the deal with his sudden death. I'm sure all his fans will be at that New Years Eve concert to pay tribute to this great man...because that is what he would want.
