You guys are reading this all wrong. Every time Jon mentions the word "Richie" everyone has to over analyze every word he says.

This House was the first (and only album without Richie released to date)... Jon was unsure if the band could move forward without Richie and although he misses him in the band, This House proved that they could move forward and he's now confident in the band's future without him. That's how I took it. It's a check the box quote.

I don't think there is anything to read into. Jon quoted that perfectly... Now if Jon said that he didn't miss him in the band, I could see that sparking some conversation. Or if Jon said that the band's music was suffering without Riche, I could see that sparking conversation...
