Here is the latest news out of Russia from a news agency. This is a google translation, so thanks for understanding it is not perfect. Here is the news source.
Concert of the German band Tokio Hotel in St. Petersburg, scheduled on the evening of March 8, was foiled. This was reported on the official website of the collective.
Local organizers substantially breached the contract, the report said, so the performance in St. Petersburg was “unreasonably”.
“The group tried to do everything that concert was held, but without success. We are terribly sympathetic fans, but the situation left us no choice”, – stressed in the message on the site.
Meanwhile, the assembled fans were told that one of the band members fell ill. As witnesses to write blogs, fans very emotionally expressed disappointment and frustration at the cancellation of the concert.
According to preliminary data, the concert in Moscow on 10 March, all the same place. As stated in the company’s website Topconcert, which organizes tours of Tokio Hotel in Russia, tickets to a concert in St. Petersburg will be valid for a concert in Moscow.

I wish that ppl would stop asking “who got sick” and other related questions. It’s been answered, no one is, they just didn’t want everyone to go completely hysterical about it. Yes, it might have upset the fans to know that one of them were ‘sick’ but think if they came out and said it was the contract breach preventing it! Even worse if you think about it. Right now this is a rather sensitive and delicate topic, but If everyone would just get the facts from the correct and reliable sources like Tokio Hotel’s website or from here on the fanclub, these rumours would not be spreading as they are. Don’t believe everything you read from other websites, only the trusted ones. Please though, stop the rumours and asking if they are true, all that will get you are low comment ratings. I just wanted to help some fans to not be so confused about this whole situation :)

Ohhh! That’s not good. I really, really want to know how they breached the contract. You would think if the promoters screwed up once it will happen again, unless it had to do with the venue itself. Let’s hope the show will go on!

But the moscow concert of today (march 10), is not cancelled, if I understand correctly??
To the best info that we have as of now, Moscow is NOT cancelled.

I completely understand the show couldn’t go on due to breach of contract, however, I think it would have been nice for the boys to go on stage and explain to the fans themselves since they were already at the venue. Since the promoters or whoever explained, now there are all these crazy rumors and alot of anger towards TH. I feel sorry for the band and I know they will make it up to the fans. This whole thing is such a mess, it’s so frustrating!!!

It is not TH’s fault. The orginzers told the fans after many hours that Bill or someone in the band is sick. And that’s was not true. They cut (?) the contract and did not let the guys go on stage. So they lied to the fans and blamed the guys.
(Sorry for my bad english, I live in Sweden)

The boys are probably PISSED as all hell. If they really are sick, get better bbs! And if not, then that promoter needs a good beating! Nobody messes with Tokio Hotel concerts! D:<

:O omg that is true. But I’m sure they’d tell us if something is really actually wrong. They wouldn’t present it like that and just leave us hanging if it was something way serious.

Look here, I was in the concert in Sweden few days ago. YES, Tom had blue tape because he’s arm is ill. It is not SO dangerous, and he could play well in Sweden.

i think that’s such a sucky thing for the promoter guy to do. frist breach the contract and let down all those fans, then go and lie to them about them being sick! especially after what happened to Bill in 08…that seems like such a cruel and pathetic cover up. everyone is of course going to believe the band over any other rumor, and i’m glad the SP fans can at least see them in moscow now. though that’s going to be a pretty packed concert, lol.

People from different countries, in the same (most likely won’t be enough space), arena? This could either be really good. Or really bad.
Anyway, it seems to me that if it’s not just a rumor, then they used the “Bill is sick”, as a cover up. They obviously failed.

Er… Moscow and St Petersburg are both in Russia…
The Olympic Stadium in Moscow is a big venue and there were still tickets left for that event. Not everyone is going to be able to make the trip from SP to Moscow but hopefully some people will be able to make the trip.

Ish. So they’re gonna try to stuff everyone from the ST Petersburg concert into the same arena as the people for the Moscow concert? Fuuuuuuuuun. :(
Well, at least the fans get another chance to see them. Which is nice. Glad the sick rumors are false though; they don’t need anything like that in the middle of their super-awesome-mega-euro-comback-tour!
Thing. :P

So wait, St. Petersberg breached the contract, then because Tokio Hotel couldn’t perform there, they explained to the fans that Bill was sick?
Couldn’t THEY get sued for that?
No idea. It seems to be a lot of swirling rumors and mystery. We believe Tokio Hotel, that there was a contract breach and that they did all they could.

NOBODY caught a cold. It was an excuse by the promoter because they’re not going to come out and say there was a problem with the contract.
