Someone said that, and also that they were going to wait and see how Pete 
felt about it once the tour was underway.  If he's still feeling "bored," 
they'll likely cut it short and go on home.

It's unlikely they'll add shows to fill the gaps, because that's Pete's 
R&R--he doesn't want to be away from his son the way he was away from his 
family back in the Seventies.  I think a lot of older, established musicians 
took note of The Who's 2000 touring structure, as it allows time between 
legs for families and to attend to other business.  For one example, Clapton 
first said he was going to quit touring to spend time with his new family, 
and then he said he might do it like The Who, instead.
