She began the post by thanking fans for their support before explaining: “When we go on tour, the whole point of it for the band is that we are playing to a different audience every night.

That’s why we go on tour!”“So if we’re in Edinburgh (like we are tonight), we look forward to seeing local faces. This is what makes it new for us every night.

We appreciate those of you who follow us and buy tickets for multiple nights, so please don’t be offended if we request you to move out of the front row,” Hynde continued.“All we are asking is that you give the local fans a chance.
