My god, hasn't someone been hit with the naive stick or what. He isn't answering the questions honestly, dont be daft. He's answering purely with digs at Jon. At Jon for showing Richie that not one person is bigger than the band, hence not pulling the tour. This is deep rooted anger Richie has for Jon. Look at the state of him in this interview. He's a mess and he's trying to convince himself that he's moving on without Jon. Truth be told he will never EVER be the man he was without the band. He's a deluded drunk that needs to know where his bread is buttered and realise he is making a complete tit of himself. He's disguising this pathetic demonstration as freedom to write, play and be free spirited.
