New interview concerning Richie and "back in the band". If this is somewhere else, sorry I missed it but this sounds like Richie and Jon are still on different sides of the coin as far as never say never goes for the moment.
Interesting that Jon does address that Richie has his "demons" - think most people knew that for some time anyway but first time Jon has, to my memory, said that since this started. David and Tico mentioned his "health" way back when.

It looks at this moment that Richie won't ever return.
Things can change, but clearly Jon, Tico and David are still angry about Richie not turning-up for a show, and completing the WAN Tour.
Remember, Tico, David and Jon have Children as well. So I don't really accept Richie's explanation about spending time with his Daughter, for leaving on the WAN Tour as all the band members miss their families when touring.
Clearly, Richie left because of creative difficulties with Jon. Jon isn't the Jon which perhaps Richie wants him to be vocally or musically, but remember Richie was involved writing Crush, Bounce, HAND, LH, TC and WAN with Jon and others. So Richie was involved with the musical direction in someway that Bon Jovi have had since Crush.
Of course Jon isn't a saint, I don't blame Jon or Richie. Richie wanted out, I respect that and wish him well as a solo artist.
But I'm hoping everyone can be civil so that Richie can return when Bon Jovi call it a day, for the last tour, and with Alec Such hopefully, as that is the time I can see Richie returning, unless Richie, Jon, Tico and David work things out before this time eventually comes.
