Let's Show Bill and TH our support <3

As we all know: Bill is sick with laryngitis. They played only 1/3 of the 1000 Hotels tour before Bill was deemed too sick to continue singing. After a week and a half of treatment in Germany, it's been found he has a cyst on one of his chords, and he needs surgery.

ALL dates for TH to play have been canceled up to May 3rd. Last fans heard from Bill was at the Lisbon concert in Portugal, when Bill tried so hard to get on stage to apologize to the fans in person, but instead the security guards wouldn't let him. Only a few lucky fans on the sides who could see backstage a bit saw this.

Many fans are disappointed, but all of us want one thing: to let Tokio Hotel and Bill himself know that we support them no matter what. We want what's best for them personally, and if that means canceling the 1000 Hotels tour and the North American tour, then so be it. We just want Bill healthy again, and we will do anything to keep up his morale. And I decided that if there was one thing I had to say to Bill Kaulitz, it's thank you.
To Tom Kaulitz, Georg Listing, Gustav Schäfer, and Tokio Hotel, I just want to say thank you.

So I created this blog, for ALL the fans to say thank you to Bill and Tokio Hotel.
I want 483 reasons to thank Tokio Hotel.
I expect to get a lot, and I will go over each one and pick the best.
This is how it will work:
-I will open two blogs: One for thanking Bill, one for thanking Tokio Hotel.
-When they are open, please think long and hard on how you will thank them. Make it sincere, don't say 'Thank you Bill for having great hair' or something.
-Post the thank you note as a comment, and PLEASE try to keep it in English or German. If you don't speak either, post in a language like Spanish or French or Italian that we can translate easily.
-The blogs will be only  open a couple days for comments. I will advertise this as much as I can prior to accepting thank you notes, so that everyone has an equal chance to submit one.
-All notes will be translated to English and then the best 483 out of those will be chosen and translated into German.
-The 483 notes will be put into a hand-made scrapbook, and if we're lucky, will be given directly to Bill. But I need EVERY fan's support on this!
-IMPORTANT! Please put your country in your thank you note! 

You may also submit artwork, either with a note or without a note. If you submit artwork with a note, please try to make the note relate to the artwork. However, if it doesn't, that's fine.


Now, last but not least, I need translators: someone who can translate German to English/English to german, Spanish to English, French to English, Dutch to English, and any other major language you think is important. This way I can post this blog in different languages. This is the first thing to be done: get the word out. So if you want to translate, just email me at tokiosupport@gmail.com WITH your translation of this blog. The German translator I will keep to also translate the notes into German, and I might call on other translators if notes come up that are in a language I don't understand. ;)


Like I said, I need every fans support to do this. Bill and the rest of the Tokios deserve to know how much we support them and why we think they changed our lives. So please spread this around to everyone you know!

If you also have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email me!!

p.s. I plan on opening the blogs for comments this weekend. So you have plenty of time to prepare anything you want to send in!

This is a wonderful idea... although i'm a little confused!
When do we start posting are thank yous and where do we post them exactly. Also if we have artwork we would like to send them, how do we go about this? Should it be scanned in the computor and posted here, sent to an e-mail address or posted somewhere? Just because you mentioned that it would be a handmade scrap book...so it might be nice to have the origionals?

Thanks, Holly.

On Saturday I will make two blogs, one for thanking Bill and one for thanking TH. The only reason I have this blog up now is so that people can have time to prepare and everyone will have a fair chance.

To submit artwork, you can post it in a comment like a regular thank you, or email it if you wish. If you want to send the original, email me, and we can sort it out. However if you're going to do that, then you might want to send it asap and also make sure you take the proper precautions so that it isn't damaged in the mail.

Great idea! I'm totally in. I hope he get's well soon & I think it's really important for him to know, that we'll be always there for him no matter what. I'll come back on saturday :)

P.S. Phabio, are you 'Phabio' from the UK forum? & is it gonna recover any time soon?

It's a great idea! I'm with you )

Phabio said...

Thanks guys :]

Yep I'm Phabio from the UK forum. We're working on the problem, I just think management is a bit wrapped up in the drama surrounding Bill so that things are taking a bit longer to get the forum back. We have a back-up forum though until they do come back:
