I think this breakup continues to haunt Jon to this very day... Even in this latest Soul Kitchen video, he looks like he's been through the ringer.

Jon was absolutely destroyed after Richie left him and the band down. To be honest, I don't think he'll ever get over it 100%. While the guys definitely had their differences and off periods together, I still think they were good friends until 2012-ish, even though for the last 10-15 years (at least) it's certainly felt like Jon has appreciated Richie more than Richie has done him.
