I'd personally rather hear the band or crowd sing a part and have an energetic frontman who actually looks like a rock star up there.
To be honest, they really should have made more of Richie's vocals on the albums, especially when Jon was struggling. It wouldn't have killed them to swap some verses here and there, which would have taken some pressure of Jon doing them live.

Back on topic, but I hope there's something reasonable in London that I can get to, not some expensive Runaway tour or a BBC show with a huge ballot.
