Richie couldn't sing it anymore. When being asked to do stuff from Stranger (like Ballad of Youth) in Melbourne 1998 he admitted during the concert that he couldn't handle those demanding vocals of the first album anymore properly. And in 1998 his vocal range was still pretty great. I think that One Light Burning might've been the toughest song for him to sing and I actually believe that they had some backing track for the chorus even back in 1991.

Do you know when? Jon showed up at Shepherds Bush in 1998 on Richie's Undiscovered Soul tour but I've never heard about his attendance on the Stranger In This Town tour.
