The night time was so poorly attended that the venue supplied a last-minute 2-for-1 deal on tickets.

Whereas some males enact their mid-life crises by shopping for sports activities vehicles or divorcing their wives, Tom Sandoval took issues a step additional; he performed a several-months-long affair along with his girlfriend’s greatest pal — dubbed “Scandoval” – and determined to go on tour because the chief of a 10-piece cowl band.
Sandoval, who’s part-owner of two LA bars and has complained all season lengthy of being overleveraged, is seemingly personally paying this band to each tour and observe with him.

Probably the most salient recollections of the night, she stated, have been the outfits. Regardless of having a considerably deflated viewers, Sandoval saved the showmanship excessive, with costume adjustments and a shoe change.
“He had patent leather-based pink sneakers and became Swarovski crystal sneakers,” in keeping with Morrissey.
And regardless of his pariah standing amongst 99% of 18-45 year-olds, Sandoval apparently does nonetheless have some trip or dies.
“There have been ladies that have been there that have been into him. He might have gotten laid,” Morrissey stated. “On the very finish, after he went backstage, there was this gross man who checked out me and stated ‘Crew Tom.’”
