Speaking from the performer's P.O.V.: I still play th occasional solo set and my bandmates haven't been to all of them. I'm cool with that, we are all grownups with grownup responsibilities and if they can't make it out to see me, that's cool.

They've heard all the songs about 1000 times already, anyway.

IMO, life is short. If you don't feel like going to his show, then don't. If he holds it against you, it's his problem, not yours. As you get older, you realize that you can't please everyone.
