I'm not just trying to protect him, as even if it was Jon that had said it I would have still believed it to be due to a genuine mistake. The band are often insulated from alot of the goings on to do with innerworkings of a tour etc, they rely on their PR people to keep them in the loop, hence Jon stating several times of the 'sold out' status of the 10 nights at the Rock, when it wasnt actually true, but more then likely what his 'people' had informed him.
On a slightly different note, I've been at a gig when the frontman has greeted the crowd with a ''Hello Glasgow!'' when the gig was actually in Belfast. My point being, sometimes all a bands job is is to turn up and play the gig, and so theres a chance that they are not always aware of everything.

No way in hell would Jon ever let himself say something like that. He's way too business-minded. God knows how Ritchie could be stupid enough to say something like that...
