Was a genius? Still a genius, lets not speak of him as if he's gone. I'm sure Dave will return and be fine, this seems like it could just be a big case of performance anxiety. This is not uncommon, especially when such pressure is put upon people to perform. Its like the funny guy in the room who is asked to say something funny, well after that proposal anything that you say is tainted by the intial request. Dave like many artists must now just relax and return to who he is, i'm sure he knows this.. and i'm sure the people helping him out in South Africa know this too. I can't wait for his return.
