Fair enough. I just don't agree and think they're x amount of years from being a successful relevant act that the damage was done, Richie leaving or not. Touring is a whole 'nother ball game, but they'll still get similar numbers to last tour next tour. I think the past stands for itself and if they don't get in it won't have to do with Richie being gone, just my opinion.
