Home Celebrity Charlie Sheen Tour Ends Tonight in Seattle With a Whimper

It began in Detroit with boos and exits. It almost ended last night in Vancouver the same way. Tonight, Charlie Sheen‘s “I’ve Lost My Job, I’m Desperately Out of Touch with Reality and Owe Millions in Child Support” tour comes to an end in Seattle. It’s been six long, fun weeks of hecklers, delayed openings, and audiences running for the exits. And even though Live Nation fronted the money for Sheen, this was no record breaking U2 tour. Sheen’s bizarre theatrical adventure has been a disaster. What did he gain from this but the enmity of audiences? And who cares in the real world that Sheen has lost his $2 million a week job? If any regular person in his audience had dealt with an employer in a similar fashion, they would have been fired a long time ago. Drug addiction, missed work, rehab, inability to perform on the job– hello? And still people paid over $100 a ticket only to find that the Warlock had no clothes. And no clues. And no jokes. Many theaters were half full. Many tickets were free, and if not, then half price. Many people left before the shows were over. And now Sheen faces life after this adrenalin rush. “Two a Half Men” will go on without him. But he’s still stuck with Brooke, Denise, and four kids, and at least one goddess to feed.

Share and Enjoy !

  1. Did he even play Everett? Is the Everett Concert over? I can’t believe his last show didn’t get any coverage, winning or losing. Serious. I wanted to go but his tickets were too expensive and I work for the state in Olympia. I love Charlie Sheen. Sue in Tenino.

  2. It’s a liitle late but, I just figured out what I would have done if I were Charlie Sheen. In his words, “pure sheeniuos”! All the material is on you tube, my idea. I would have done skits. First, I would be Batman. Then during a costume change, I would play a Bi-Winng song on the big screen. Then come out as Sheen Vader, costume change, then be a guy answering a suicide hotline, costume change, interview a guy imitating me, costume change, an interview with the dead Osama Bin Laden, costume change. Of course, during every costume change, you would play more parody songs! Then I would invite reporters from Good Morning America, and the Today Show, just to say more ridiculous jargon so people could make fun of me so I could use that material for my up comming shows. Then, get groups like REO Speedwagon as an example to play songs during costume changes. REO was in his version of a 2020 uneditted interview video. I would be like a different version of Rodney Dangerfield. The day people would STOP making fun of me, then I would be finished. What a crazy idea huh? Too bad no one will ever read this. So, at least my first one was written with heart, and at least no one will ever steal this idea either, so “Doy, !%! whishing” I can’t use #WINNING. Allready taken. Good Night.

  5. I feel for the “Ma-Sheen”. I think he’s basically a good person. He’s suffered hard “dude”. Many in the field of journalism feel that he’s brought it on himself. Maybe so. Let’s not beat the dead horse though. I had my fill of remixing his interviews with song clips and sound effects. Then an angel came to me in the form of Demi Lovato. I would NEVER want to hurt her. I’ve stopped. Now that his “my not as violent as once was deactivated torpedeo of half truths/I will consider options as an option tour” is winding down, and the dust is settlling, I am afraid a wake up call of reality will now rear it’s less than attractive face. I seriously pray, in JESUS’s name, that an angel of GOD will reach down his hand and help Mr Sheen. I do believe he has loved ones, and those he loves as well. I pray he will be around for a long time. Suicide IS for fools. To Mr “we still love you” Sheen, may the best of luck be with you. , #WINNING By the way, nice tweet on Osama!!! America is #WINNING!!! Also, good job on the pose with a down’s syndrome fan. Maybe, you could remove the “Duh” and be a real winner.
