Reading the preview of this from the front page I thought it was "James joins line-up of The Voice"...

[sculptureofabloke]

Ok, guesses for which one James'll do?

I reckon My Generation will be taken by Liam Gallagher, didn't Oasis do that anyway? Err.. I'll have a punt on Substitute.

[UEF]

I think he's mentioned Substitute a few times before

[sculptureofabloke]

Plus, Sex Pistols used to cover Substitute so that could be a bit of a doubly whammy fanboy moment for him. Maybe he'll do Heyday Of The Blood.

[beyondgoodandevil]

I reckon he could do a convincing rendition of The Seeker.

oh if only ..

[Scarecrow]

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, James is ill so he didn't appear.

[Takk]

I don't know why but that made me think that James had just planned to apparate onto the stage. /crazy.

[sculptureofabloke]

It looks like he would've been on for Substitute anyway http://www.nme.com/news/the-who/81025

Ah James getting the winter cold in early this year then, get well soon Bradders!

He'd better start looking after himself before the THB shows!

[sculptureofabloke]

Might be just an old wives' tale but I'm sure I've heard that it's once you've had a cold you're alright for the rest of the season? I know in Edinburgh in April I was dying but was alright from Glasgow onwards and everyone else I regularly saw was dying from then onwards...

Whatever, lad should have a flu jab and a line up of hot toddies in Glasgow just in case.

EDIT: God I hate my stupid brain. Now I'm wondering if people are going to find the term old wives' tale sexist and ageist. Probably.

Bastard. Why don't you just go and join your mate, Dapper Laughs?
