No Richie on current leg of the tour

According to this:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000181/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1 She isn't filming anything

Someone on fb posted that she would have a reply from sparkart.

They wrote: If you purchased the tickets through the backstage fan club, please let us know the order numbers and if you don't want to attend the shows due to Richie's absence. We will forward this request to our ticketing manager for review as we are taking refund requests

Do not know if this is true though since i am still waiting for reply.

He would know for how long he cant tour in this case .

That's 300, not 3000.

Yeah, guess so. I'm gonna stop even trying to guess...could be anything...we'll never know.

OMG this thread is epic!!! I've been keeping it open in a tab in my browser for weeks now, so thanks for keeping me entertained through this mess! I especially loved the photoshop work and the various song lyrics. There are some very creative and talented people on this board!

This is starting to feel like a soap opera to me...The Rich and the Bongiovi's epsiode 3040598558 and just like a soap you just cannot help but wait for a new episode each day to see how it goes on no matter how crappy it may be. lol

I feel like Richie may have looked into his timeline and seen a bunch of comments from upset fans and gotten a tiny bit pissed off himself...at least that is what his tweet feels like to me. I do think he will be back at some point and we will never know the reason for his absence. I do respect his privacy and I am sad not being able to see him this year in concert though I didn't get ticket in the first place because I am skint as hell lately and just couldn't afford traveling and tickets. I am however very upset with how this has been handled from the Bon Jovi camp and Richie both, I have gotten used to very, very bad PR and fan communications in the 13 years I have been a fan but this is a new all time low for sure. Why they still think they are living in some Sicilian village where everyone lives by the rules of Omertà is seriously beyond me. Come on, this is the (social) media age!

Speaking of the (Bongiovi) Mafia, reading Matt's tweets today and some fan comments wondering if Jon even knows what he's doing I was reminded of this scene and I think that's about what Jon would say if he knew what his little brother has been doing on twitter...he just would be way less calm about it, we could probably hear the screaming all the way over here in Europe. LOL

That last tweet feels a bit like a slap in the face.

I think both Matt and Richie should just shut up.

I'm sort of done with all this speculation. If I had the will power (which I probably don't), I would just check out and show up at Soldier Field on July 12.
