This thread is useless. You ask a question, you get no answer.

Because you asked something that nobody can answer. We don't know when Richie will be back, nobody knows. We'll find out in Capetown, I guess.

Thank you... I guess they still have a few days to make a statment... :/

Unfortunately this is the only statement we're likely to see.

WHAT!?! :shock:

it's too late to quit now. 211 pages and counting. we're doomed. let's say it takes 5 years for richie to comeback. we're stuck with this thread.:multi:

Maybe Richie is reading this thread and we are entertaining him so much that he doesn't want to come back to the band and have it all end? ;)

how much more does he have to prove, he played when he blew out his calf, the show went on without stopping and he played on when his he tore somthing in his knee, in the 90s he played through no voice, flu and fever. unless jon is dying and i am guessing even then he will not cancel a show!

He doesn't have to prove anything more to me. Bon Jovi's the ONLY band I'll book a flight to go see because I know they'll show up. At least MOST of them will show up.

Yeah you can't knock Jon's work ethic and commitment.

Saw him in Dublin on the last tour with his knee brace and the guy put on a great show for the bones of 3 hours.

In 2000, he put on the best show I've seen in thunder and lightening when most bands would have been shitting themselves. In fact, Slane was the following day and they talked about cancelling it for safety reasons if the weather had been the same.

The guy is phenomenal in terms of work ethic.
