Put yourself in his shoes.
You have a big issue - something that in 30 years is the biggest issue in your "family".
You consider it big enough to walk away from.
Do you stay?
It's utterly selfish to think a fan that's paid for a ticket (even if it's hotels and travel too) should be more important than making yourself happy over the best part of a year! He's spent his life neglecting family and friends for the sake of a rock n roll band. Personally, I think he's given more than enough over three decades to keep any fan happy.
I know what it's like as a small-fry guitarist playing 3 shows a week. I've just got home and haven't seen my girlfriend for days. That's DAYS. Not weeks or months.
Cut the guy some slack, stop putting your one night of musical enjoyment first, and think of the bigger picture.
