The DJ has never blatantly lied about anything before. He talked about rumors of a Motley Crue farewell tour before it happened. I don't know what his connections are or what his sources are. He hasn't said.

It seems really far fetched to me though. I can't imagine why Jon, Tico, and Dave would trust Richie after the last two tours and I can't imagine why Richie would WANT to tour for album he had nothing to do with unless it really is just for money. But, money is quite a motivational force for most people.
