It's not necessarily better, but it would have made things a lot easier for some fans, that's all. It may be selfish, but considering how much money we all spend to see them, I think we have a right to be a little selfish.

I'm not taking sides, because three months and 700 pages later we still know nothing. I don't think anyone's innocent in this whole mess, but if Jon is such a damn tyrant, why would Dave and Tico put up with that? Richie has already disappointed some of his fans by cancelling the US dates (yeah, yeah, I know, laryngitis)... And now this interview where, to me, he came across like he doesn't really care and he's having a blast in LA. I may be way off, of course.

Being at San Siro, looking at the wonderful thing the fans did for the band, I thought of Richie and couldn't help but wonder why the hell he's not there to enjoy that epic moment with all of us.

I am just tired of all the secrecy and "we love our fans" "I miss my fans". At first I thought this was a health or family issue, and completely understood that they wanted to keep it private, now that it seems like something else entirely, I think it's time to spill the beans. The fans have being arguing for three months now, at this point it would be nice to know what the issue is...
