After Lance saw the letter, he also cried.

But he still chose to go to Downing Street.

There may be a small amount of ambition in this.

But more reasons may be that not everyone can refuse the invitation of a prime minister without any scruples.

In terms of his naturally thoughtful and steady personality, he can't be like James, who doesn't care about anything and doesn't care about anything.

So, even though he was sad after receiving the letter from James, he still insisted on going his own way, dressed neatly and beautifully, appeared on time at No. [-] Downing Street, and posed for a handshake pose with the new Prime Minister, facing the camera Put on a formulaic smile.

With a 'click', the picture freezes!

As a beautiful black-haired guitarist even in the entertainment circle of handsome men and beautiful women.Today, against the background of many middle-aged and elderly politicians who are bald, half-bald, or not bald and not good-looking, and the so-called celebrities, they are so handsome that they are dazzling and shining in this photo.

Because of this, this photo became very famous later.

30 or [-] years after being famous, the little girls who still have good looks can fall in love with this amazingly handsome black-haired guitarist (grandpa) through the photos for thousands of years.

But in fact, when Lance smiled at the camera, there was no joy in his heart.

Because at that moment, he was completely reduced to an existence used by politicians for show and exhibition. It was a prominent figure erected by the leader of the New Labor Party in order to prove that he is an enlightened leader, willing to get close to the people, understand fashion, and promote a more modern governance model. logo.

Here, no one takes his music seriously.

People value only his so-called rock star status.

Although I had expected it in my heart, I didn't expect it to be so bad.

So he stood quietly in the corner the whole time, smiling with champagne, playing a perfect vase, and the whole person was out of tune with everything here.

But if you ignore all kinds of bad things...

It really made Lance famous.

His popularity reached its peak after this night, and no matter how many years later, when people mention the most outstanding guitarist of the 90s, they will inevitably think of the beauty who shook hands with the Prime Minister.

But this incident also made Lance's reputation in the circle of musicians at the time sour.

Many noble artists at the same time disdain his practice of "surrendering to the powerful".On the contrary, James, who refused the Prime Minister's invitation, swept away his previous bad reputation as a street gangster and hooligan, and became a representative of a backbone musician.

However, outsiders' opinions don't matter at all.

For the Planetary Band, the most critical question is that when Lance returns from Downing Street...

At that time, James, who was extremely dissatisfied with the whole thing, was the first to find fault: "Listen, Lance, I can't fucking stand it! We are a rock band, not the prime minister's royal musicians."

Lance looked at him fixedly, then nodded suddenly: "You are right, then let's have a meeting to discuss."

So, James aggressively called Abel, Davis, Bill, as well as the current drummer Abe and the current bass player Sanderson, and planned to scold Lance thoroughly in front of everyone. Awake.

But when everyone arrived, Lance was the first to speak: "Listen, we are a rock band, not the prime minister's royal musicians. But because I went to Downing Street, this matter is troublesome."

James immediately sneered: "You only know it's wrong now, why the hell didn't you listen to me?"

Lance ignored him and continued, "So, I've decided to quit the band."

James: ...

a bolt from the blue!

Everyone was stunned.

But Lance stood up calmly and said: "After I quit, no one should associate the band with Labor again. So, that's it."

Then, he walked out of the room and never came back.

that's it?

That's how you are paralyzed!

James was so angry that he wanted to flip the table.

It's unbelievable that things have developed like this.

You know, James sometimes wants to quit the band angrily, but he has persisted until now.

He never thought that Lance would leave, because Lance seemed like the one who couldn't let go, valued the planets so much that he wanted to take full control of the band, and acted like it was to maintain the band can give up everything.

So, is this an insult?

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to believe that what they heard was the truth.

But if you're not angry...

Nasio was really not wronged when he was fired.

After all, this guy got serious and even fired himself.

Then, Lance disappeared for a full month, seemingly determined to quit the band.

Abel was so anxious that he ran over to James worriedly, "What's the matter with you? The planet won't just disband, right?"

James didn't know anything, and was at a loss.

So, he replied viciously: "How the hell do I know? It's not that I want to quit, go ask that bitch!"

What a chaotic time!

All work was suspended, no performances, no recordings, no interviews and TV appearances. It was obviously the most famous period of the band, but because the guitarist 'run away from home', everything was stopped.

Don't say James feels betrayed...

Even the hard-working Abel felt very dissatisfied with Lance: "What happened, at least stand up and make it clear! What's the matter with suddenly disappearing?"

For a while, the working team of the Planetary Band fell into panic.

James drank his sorrows with alcohol, and almost drank too much.

It wasn't until a long time later that everyone knew that Lance's life was not very easy during that time.

He has been so strong that everyone forgets that he was not yet 20 when he took over the power and supported the entire band.

The intense attention of the media at all times; the anticipation and excessive fanaticism of fans all day long; the strict attitude of critics who are always criticizing; the various requirements and constraints of record companies; the various conflicting relationships among members of the team; Emotional crisis with Jimmy; coupled with today's political issues...

Lance finally couldn't hold it anymore.

He is not a superman, and he is also exhausted physically and mentally...

"It was like being on a merry-go-round, and at first I was just trying to get it to spin, to spin faster, faster than everyone else..."

The black-haired guitarist, who has always been strong, only brought up the matter about seven or eight years later, but he still said it very euphemistically: "But I didn't expect it to really spin up, round and round and round and round. Turn, turn faster and faster, turn faster and faster, turn faster and faster, turn faster and faster... Too fast, too fast! At this time, I wanted to go down, but I was stuck on it. I couldn't move, Can't stop, dizzy, I'm stuck! Got stuck, you know? Jimmy talks a lot and I understand what he means, but it's too late...Stuck, I'm stuck. "

At this time, the Planetary Band has reached its peak.

But in fact, the saddest thing is that being at the top means that there is nowhere to climb...you can only go down.

During this period, the entire energy of the planetary band was finally exhausted.

Not only is James tired of this kind of life, but even Lance's mental state is extremely poor.

At that time, he was depressed, his mind was in a mess, he even had doubts about himself, and he felt fear in his heart every step he took. The completely disappointing experience at No. [-] Downing Street was also like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

At the beginning, Kurt Cobain, the leader of grunge rock, shot himself at home. He also said to James: "Do you think I look like a suicide?"

But now...

For a moment, the words in Kurt Cobain's suicide note clearly appeared in his head: "Rather than lingering on the last breath, it is better to indulge in burning."

However, fortunately, although he suffered a blow, he is not an extreme character, he is tenacious enough, selfish and narcissistic enough, and that strong narcissistic nature also helped him successfully overcome the short-term stress caused by pressure. Self-destructive emotions.

Because, when he stayed in the house for a few days, he accidentally looked in the mirror, and was immediately taken aback by his slovenliness. He didn't want to burn anymore, so he quickly washed his face, made a mask, and applied a bunch of skin care products. Turning around, I found an eyebrow pencil, and seriously drew my own eyebrows...

But there is no doubt that all successful pop bands will experience their own period of empire.

But their empires, like the dynasties of the world, will eventually collapse, and so will the planets.

Lance was silent for a month, adjusted his emotions, and after returning to the band, he began to seriously deal with a series of matters related to his upcoming exit.

During this period, he also wrote a note, which was also slipped quietly through James' door.

——Even without me, the show will continue.

——Planet forever!

——As long as you want, I will always play the guitar for you.

—Jimmy, I love you too.

If you analyze Lance's thoughts, it is probably: "Although I can't bear the pressure, I also think that I can't continue to lead the band forward, but will drag the band back, so I choose to quit."But I still love you, as long as you call me, I am willing to play the guitar for you. '

From a certain point of view, although I came back from Downing Street that day, I lost control of my emotions and said to quit.

But deep down in his stubborn mouth, he was secretly waiting for his lead singer to keep him by crying.

However, it is a pity that James, who is straight enough on certain issues, failed to get his vague and twisted mind.

On the contrary, when he saw the note, he was angry again.

What does the show go on without you?

Is it really impossible without you?

What do you mean you are still willing to play the guitar for me?

You fucking quit and play P's guitar!

Coincidentally at this point in time, Morrison, the lead singer of the Clown Band, unfortunately had a small car accident. His life was not in danger, but he was unable to sing on stage for the time being.

But their band is on a national tour, and tickets for two shows have already been sold out.

Therefore, Kelvin, the guitarist of the Clown Band, resisted all opinions and ran to James to help save the scene, crying and calling for him to help sing two performances.

James readily agreed.

That night, he was on stage with Joker guitarist Kelvin.

The author has something to say: let's just say it, the two people have no problem emotionally.

But as the Internet is about to become popular, Jimmy will probably start sending [-] tweets a day scolding the guitarist, and then delete them before going to bed... I don’t know what kind of state this is called, it’s probably like beating a child on a cloudy day and being idle .
