Eric has had some "vocal issues" for a few weeks. He posted on instagram that he had the idea of getting Michele Luppi to help him out, and at the Wolverhampton gig mentioned his presence but not what he was doing, but he didn't bother in London. In watching the video, you can see/hear Eric dropping out and Michele is filling in a lot. Michele used to be in a band called Mr Pig, which was an Italian Mr Bog cover band. He also "helped out" David Coverdale on tour (as he hasn't been able to sing live for close to 30 years.)

[@leesculthorpe6048]

id be very disappointed if id paid for a ticket to watch a tribute guy sing, should have cancelled until his voice was better

Surprised Paul's not wearing his earphones, I wonder if he's had improvement in his hearing issues, he was seriously concerned about going deaf at one point, his tinnitus was that bad after all the years of loud amps.

Probably using in-ear monitors these days. They help alot with stage noise/volume. You balance out what you want to hear in them w/o killing your hearing...T

[@michaeldallaway1988]

He has been struggling with his voice for a while so got backup for the last few dates

[@D6EH]

I'm wondering why the background singer is doubling Eric?

[@mowlie2000]

He blew his voice out at a previous show. He is there to bolster Eric’s lines. I saw them in Manchester and he really, really struggled. Some points he didn’t sing at all as it had gone.

[@ironblud]

@@mowlie2000I was thinking about getting tickets for the Toronto show but I’m not convinced I want to see them with Eric’s voice gone. I don’t want it to taint my feelings about them as a band.

[@a.r.6766]

Saw Mr Big on 17.3.2024 in Cologne. Compared to London his voice was marvellous. I'm sorry for London but I think having the second singer as a backup was a fair decision.

Fair enough but at least he’s not using auto-tune like so many do today. I prefer authenticity more than perfection.

[@Trevelyan1971]

so sad eric can t sing anymore!!

[@banditcountry31]

Erics voice is fxxked

[@ibinTZY]

yeah this leg of the tour he has been having issues...i think after the tour of Asia his vocal cords are exhausted as he isn't young anymore. But at least he has the humility to call in an additional singer to aid him instead of giving fans a garbage show. Sad to see our favorite artist age

[@ozzacassiepophart6349]

What I meant to say to clarify that last one is that dude‘s voice does not match with the other back up vocalists. Eric Martin is good as always, but those back up vocals man! They did get rid of that one in later versions from this year, as far as I’m aware of. The one they replaced him with sounds way better. Like I said, one of the worst versions I have ever heard because of that soprano or should I say falsetto since he’s a male, back up singer. The toys I’m talking about is those knock off bootleg toys you find at flea markets or some kind of thrift store or you sometimes find at the dollar store like around Christmas time or something like that. Honestly, very disappointed. The worst part is that they had that guy for two years. I’m surprised nobody else has complained.

[@chriskiefer7493]

Lead singer's voice is gone.

[@tantan-mx6xc]

[@niptodstan]

Eric isn’t just struggling, he’s out of tune. Has he got hearing problems too? Such a shame. I hope he pulls it all back together.

[@TheDefJamm]

Eric with a bit of flu or not, to have another singer basically overdubbing all lead vocals is just embarrassing. No, he is NOT doing backing vocals as some delusional people are trying to say. I'm not sure how they had the nerve to do this- I wouldn't, I'd rather cancel the show.

[@kyrie85]

It is very odd. Saw the band in Pittsburgh and it’s not the flu. Just nothing left. Paul and Billy= unbelievable.

[@jasonryan2243]

He is doubling his vocals that's true, but Eric is 100% singing. He's having issues, but he's trying to find a way. Truth is if this was the bands 3rd tour he'd be cancelling shows, but being the last tour that's a bit of a problem other members have other commitments. It's clear that the majority of what your hear is clearly Eric. It's ain't perfect but it's all good given the circumstances

[@TomyJaya365]

Paul was a part-time guitarist 😂

[@kempman9811]

I was in Cologne 14 days ago. Honestly, Erics voice is a pain in the ass and Billys solo was absolutely boring. Paul is playing on a top level. I am a big Mr. Big fan but Eric ruins the show and this everytime noodling of Billy …… I looked in the eyes of many fans when he played the solo and I have seen many disappointed faces. Anyway, the songs were great, many nostalgic vibes. Pauls the man
