FFs took a huge paycheck of blood money that they could've easily turned down. They're in it too.

Yeah plus it’s not like they’re a new band desperate for cash and a big break - without doing any maths, I’m pretty sure Dave & Co. could easily turn down evert corpo gig that comes their way from now until forever, and still be out there living the high life.

Yes...I'm sure FF is intimately involved in Amazon internal politics. I'm sure they were made aware of every person fired to pay for their show before it was booked last year.

It's a gig. A highly paying gig. They don't fucking care who's in the audience.
